I started refereeing again today! I haven't reffed in so long. I forgot how much I love reffing soccer, and I hate reffing the players. Come on! Your 8 years old! How can you not know how to throw the ball in??? Then there was the goalie who was standing in the back of the net and caught the ball, but since it was across the goal line it was a score...poor guy. I felt sorry for him. Sorry enough to kneel down and explain it and give him some pointers. Stupid coach...WHERE WAS THE COACH WHEN THIS CHILD WAS SCORED ON?? That's what I wanna know...
Sadly, there was no fighting in the stands, on the sidelines, on the field, or between me and any of the fans, coaches or players. It was a little disappointing because I look forward to that. My temper isn't as explosive as it was the last season I was a reff, but there's something about a good row with a coach over the rules. And something even better about looking with the "I could kill you if I needed too" expression at an irate parent who thinks their child was pushed, tripped or even viciously kicked, when all the kid did was step on his own shoelace and fall down. I see things. You don't.
Ah well. There will be other days. Hopefully many because its really good money. Plus it helps to get rid of those "Mad With Power" urges, where you just want to run everything. Go reff, and you are paid to run everything. It makes me want to chuckle in an evil, and completely mad way when I dwell on that thought for very long.
*reads post* Perhaps too much time spent reading books from the 18th century...

You're going to prom? **light clicks on** You haven't showed me your dress!!! I HAVE to see it! Oh. Guess what the seniors are singing for their senior song? "For Good" from Wicked. That's like one of my favorite songs and it's a DUET not an ensemble.
And Shell, I like to think we live in the Plains of Boredom.
