This is my sixth year as an umpire, and while I'm not as gung ho about doing games, I still really enjoy having the priviledge of umpiring. I never find myself getting bored doing plate games, as it is a position of responsibility and I am always in the action. It's those base games where they take forever between innings and the game moves really slowly that can get kind of boring.
I still don't think there's anything wrong with umpiring just for the money, and not for the sake of enjoyment, so long as you do your best anyways and remember you are still responsible for calling the best game possible. Maybe it would be good to try doing fewer games. I do about 4 a week right now, which is about the right number to keep me entertained.
