This is the best answer for either choice.
Being the partner who cares enough to call the rules and POEs as written, I'm going to do my best to suck it up for the time we're together.
As a fairly new official myself, I get some of these people as partners. I go call the game, it's obvious to the coaches which one of us cares to be there and if I don't get all the rulings it's because I'm gaining experience, not because I don't care.
Unfortunately these partners require a get in, get out, go home type of game.
