Not much for most people here I know but its something for me.

Congrats! Work to get even better.

And it IS much for the kids and coaches in those games.

Jobs. Some people have jobs.

Don't take the game then. And then you will not have to worry about where you are coming from.

Many times the assignor will say, "Get there when you can."

There aren't a ton of people who can get to a school by 4PM (or whatever) as it is. They're thrilled to have someone who can make it by 3:45PM. Or even 3:55PM.

Yep...the same 2 people can't officiate every 3:00 or 4:00 game on the schedule. You get who you can.
