Humiliated Ump

[stevesmith]

I think it is a fine line between doing this for the love of the game, for personal enjoyment, for money (haha) or whatever your reasons may be for being a sports official. I have had times through the years where I wasn't happy with being an official and had thoughts of giving it up. But I always find that working with the right people make all the difference in the world. And there are times when the right person one year isn't the right person next year, and vice versa. There is such a commeraderie among officials that when you feel like you've lost that, you think you don't enjoy the job when in reality, the job you're doing is fine...you just need to do it with someone else who appreciates how and what you do.
