Should We Get Paid?

And I'm going to get my money one way or another.

AH ... so you haven't taken enough flogging already... OK, I'll pile on since you don't get it yet.

JV is not a scrimmage. "Who cares that there is not a winner?" Every single player, parent, coach, and fan at that game cares. Non-skilled? If the game is not worth you deigning your time to officiate from on high, perhaps you should pass these games on to umpires who give a sh!+. You're "not doing it?" You are a condescending a$$ that doesn't deserve to be on the field. That clear enough for you?

Unless I'm told before the game that we are playing 5-innings DROP DEAD (which does happen, although rare)... you are there to officiate a game. When a baseball game is tied at the end of regulation, what do you do? LEAVE is not the right answer.

I would never have you come back to work either, and if I was your scheduler, you'd be done in my area as well.

As to your pay, there's no way in he!! you're getting a paycheck from me if I'm the school, and there's no way I'm even asking the school about it if I'm your scheduler (in fact... as the scheduler, I'd be calling the school immediately to apologize profusely for your completely unacceptable behavior).
