Get in, get done, get out

[nine01c]

Been there, done that. We have some officials in my area who have been wearing stripes since they had peach baskets, have never picked up a rule book since taking the test, and are mediocre at best. They continue to get games because of their longevity, friendship with the assignor(s), and/or just to get a body assigned to one of the many subvarsity games that day. Do they ever wonder why they were never promoted to varsity? It is frustrating for someone like yourself who is dedicated and strives to work the game properly, with a competent partner. The best you can do in this situation: see the title of your post.
