The concept that is sometimes forgotten is that good or bad, wherever we go, we're judged as a group. If one member gets out of line, then the whole group has to deal with the problem. If an umpire fails to show or leaves early (such as the case I mentioned last night), it makes us ALL look bad.

The irony is that the ones in our crew who make us look bad are the first ones to complain about the low pay, yet it's their actions that make things difficult when trying to negotiate better contracts.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
