I get it........Only you are allowed to make assumptions.

You have a better chance of guessing my social security number than you do knowing what I know or don't know.

If you've got more information that the OP has given the board in other posts, then I'll retract my statement.

Otherwise, lumping her into all the officials you've come across who "don't last long" seems a bit presumptuous.

And you're right, I've made my share of presumptions. I've also retracted them (and apologized when appropriate) when called out for them. Do you have an example to the contrary?

I've changed my signature to warn everyone of my crabby nature. There, you've been warned. I will now go and eat some poorly seasoned food.

Seriously, though, I would consider a trip to where most of you are up there in the northeast US and try this out; however, I was in Boston and Providence a few years ago--but the local food was terrible (no seasoning) and the people are bit more crabby than in the south and out here in Kansas.
SMH.

Why? Do you plan on pissing off your assignor?

Probably there would be a lot of double whistles.

You must really be crabby if you saw the 4 passed balls in one inning tonight.
