That's when I would have left.

I was really considering it, believe me. I figured I would stick it out a bit longer.

I see you're up in Vacaville, do you have much in the way of competitive slow pitch or tournaments up there? We seem to only have the AA leagues here.

Vacaville used to be a hot bed for ASA slow pitch tourneys. Used to. Not anymore though. All the tourney folks play u-trip and Solano County is strictly ASA territory.

Lots of SP around here though. Vacaville, Fairfield, Napa and Davis all register 100+ teams per season. Add Suisun City and Travis AFB and an umpire can work every night if he so choses.

I work in Vacaville Mondays and Wednesdays, Suisun on Fridays...girls FP on weekends, and NFHS when in season.

Yep. If nothing else, your exposure to this kind of crap is going to erode your real umpiring skills unecessarily. Why make it hard on yourself?
