Fun but long night

Short answer: I'm crazy.

Longer answer:
1) I use the rec league games as a way to work on my mechanics and to gain experience, because I'm a relative newbie to basketball officiating.
2) The rec games are relatively easy to work... shorter-then-regulation courts, 20-minute running time halves.
3) Keeps me busy and gives me a little bit of "crack-and-hookers" money. (Crack-and-hookers money = money that I can spend on something utterly frivolous, NOT money that I literally spend on crack and hookers).
4) I asked the rec league assigner to work 2 days a week if possible. The way this week worked out, the only two days that I was available and he had games were on Saturday and Sunday.
