Then in the first game, one of my friends got hurt where he thinks he might have pulled a groin muscle or hamstring and guess who had to work in this place? MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! !!!!

Fortunately my friend and I are not too far off in size, so I was able to wear all his uniform without much of a problem.

So let this be a lesson to all of you, if you go watch someone work a game, bring your stuff.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by your fellow officials.

Personally, I think you should always just go to every game dressed in your uniform.

I must add that I did ride with the guys working the game. If I was driving alone (which I would not have gone to in the first place) then I might have brought my bag. I felt it would be a little much to bring in this situation, but it was clear if I had it there would not have been a problem.

Peace
