Does accepting last minute assignments show that you have too much availability? or does assignor appreciate it, since u help that out at last minute?

Thanks!

My assigner once contacted me at 10:15 a.m. to work a high school freshman game that was supposed to start at 10:00 a.m., in the next town. I walked into the gym about twenty minutes later in the middle of the first period to an ovation from the crowd. Man, was my partner happy to see me walk into that gym, either that, or he had a gun in his pocket.

I got "the call" one Sunday afternoon, that one of our officials was in a wreck and they needed me at the gym ASAP. Unfortunately, I had about a 25 mile drive. While my partner was happy to see me, some in the gym looked at me like - nice of you to finally get here sparky!

Never had this role, but my goal as an assignor in this situation would be to make one, and only one phone call. Having people I can count on would make my job much easier.
