It's not something I look forward to but I do this for money, not to work two games and go home. If you don't do this for the money as one of the top five reasons you are doing it, then why put up with all the shit that goes with it?
Who says you have to put up with shit? While the money is nice, in the 45+ years, I've never umpired for the money, baseball or softball.

And, IMO, if you are doing 6 in a row in your sleep, you are not providing the service for which you are being paid.
