When are y'all comin up here to work a game!? (and you can bring lcubed too)

I worked a game on Sat with a transfer from Cal - we had to splain to him that we count 10 secs in the back court for girls here.......

Misc. MS games with rookies and upcoming rookies day camps prior to first assignments the beginning of the month.
One woeful prospect looms large -- shift picks for our department at work determine our work schedule for the new year. I'm low on the totem pole here so the likelihood of having to work the second half of the week instead of the first half of the week is running about 25%. With a good V officiating schedule set on nights when I don't have to work late the days I work (get out at 6:30) now, if I get shifted to the other shift I'll have to bail on the entire year. Hope it doesn't come to that.

I feel your pain Freddy. I'm 5 years in with my association and was the "go to" guy for sub-varsity mainly because I worked out of my house and was flexible in terms of assignment. Started a new job with a very long commute and now can only do varsity during the week (and I'm just in transition from SV to V so I don't expect anything close to a "full" schedule - also had to speak to my new boss about leaving around 4 to get to those weekday games). I did speak to both assignors and told them to load me up on sub-varsity on the weekends but we'll have to see how things shake out.

Passed my test. First game tomorrow night. Bag is packed. Including Mr. Advil, who car pools with me to every game.

But, I'm usually with his cousin, Mr. Aleve!

Stop eating inflammation causing foods and within 4 to 6 weeks you will not have to ingest chemical inflammation suppressors to be able to referee.

Major update for which to give thanks to God:
Shift schedules for our department for next year were posted yesterday and I won't be getting bumped off my shift, which was the basis for all assignments given to me for this season.
Whereas my entire schedule was in danger of being completely turned back, I'm in the clear now.
Whew! Dodged a bullet on that one. All smiles today as I consume vast quantities of what was Ben Franklin's choice for the national bird.
Packers by 5.

I'm happy for you, Freddy! When you get your games, go make us all proud.

Yes, I would be up for a game/s using a 4 man crew.
