What is your daytime job?

[26 Year Gap]

I am a Mortgage Company branch manager.

I work for Harris Corporation and develop graphics systems for the broadcast industry.

It is Harris that you see at the beginning of every tournament game.

I think Harris is John's middle name.

Sorry........posted this inside the thread instead of making a new post.


I am a business owner. In fact, I own two businesses. This allows me to do a doubleheader at noon and a doubleheader at night during softball season. It also allows me to do 5-6 nights a week of basketball.

Of course, while they are doing this...we can't NOT put a hand out to shake because we would look like turds, but at the same time you have the visiting over there looking like, "Ohhhhhhhhhhh great.........the hometown hero's are doing our game tonight!"

Needless to say, we were each 1.5 hours from that town so that wasn't the deal, but I can about imagine what people were thinking when they saw it.

Even though we were being good sports, it just made me feel weird with only one team doing it and that being the home team.

Don't worry about that....there are enough teams that do it on a regular basis that the team that chose not to do so will not even consider it an issue...they probably see just as many visiting teams do it when they're come to their own gym.

My daytime job...electrical/computer engineer. Can leave a little early sometimes, but rarely. Traveling much more than 1 hour to a game (7:30 start, 6:30 arrival, 5:30 departure from work) is really out of the question for anything but a weekend.

[Ref in PA]

I am a computer consultant. My hours can be flexible when need be. I have told my assignors that I can only do one early game a week. I aspire to be the best HS ref I can, however, I do not want to college. I have worked a couple of college games and just do not like it as much. My brother, who is also a ref, is an Anesthesiologist, who has cushy hours (7-2) except for the days he takes call.

I am a member of the Saudi royal family, which leaves me plenty of free time for officiating.

Here's a portion of a recent family photo. I'm two rows in, third from right.
