I took on a new job 7 years ago and in my past lives I worked a lot of rec football on Saturdays and thought I'd jump in and do it again. I got scheduled to a bunch of dates at this one place that was close enough to the house.

For 3 weeks I rained in more USC flags against coaches would would run up to me and argue calls in the middle of the field -- some were allowed on the field in the levels we were playing. After 3 weeks, the guy who hired the officials told me I'd have to tolerate that and stop flagging the coaches. I told him that I wasn't about to start lowering my standards now and we agreed to part ways. I haven't worked any Saturday football since. I also quit working rec basketball and adult baseball and bought a set of golf clubs.
