What is your daytime job?

[Camron Rust]

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.

I too am a member of the clergy, plus whatever else I can do to make another penny or two!

[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.

Actually, I go back a lot farther than that. I was the trail guide through the Red Sea. I helped that young whipper-snapper, Moses, find his way but he took all the credit.

That's me, carrying the scoop behind the camels.

College instructor here. I always try to make sure our program schedule is set so I can sneak out of here early enough on some days. Some semesters it works, some it doesn't.

Next time, if you want the credit, YOU write the book.

Next time, I will. I didn't go to Hebrew school for six years for nothing.

[Terrapins Fan]

I own my own business have for nearly 30 years.

I get a 3 month vacation each year and I take it to referee basketball. True story.

It's called seasonal work. I am off from Dec 15th to March 15th.

[SDRef]

I'm a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Lots of calls about travel conditions when the weather turns 'interesting'.

[Bearfanmike20]

Wow.. you all have some good jobs.

I'm an admin assistant. Nothing special. Working on my A+ cert so I can become an IT technician.

I got bankers hours so getting game is hard since I'm just starting out.

I am a traveling consultant, which means I load up the schedule 2 years in advance and then turn back about a third of my games. So far, no real problems as I always find substitutes on my own.

I don't even start until next week as I've been in California all but one day since last Monday.

First game is 3-person girls, next Tuesday.
