Had it not been for the frosh game taking a bit long, I would have truly been late (I walked into the building at 5:30 for a scheduled 5:30 game).
The worst part was, as I walked into the locker room, the local board president was in the middle of getting dressed to fill in for me (he was there for the varsity game after my game). It was not my shining moment.
There are some in my area that would want to pull your games for being this late. Or say that if the another officials is dressed to work, then they will finish the game.

Peace
