*Facepalm*

I just spent the last 5 hours at the annual coach's and rules interpretation meeting for lacrosse.  F-I-V-E hours and we didn't get everything that needed to be said said.  So frustrating.  And to top it off, I didn't get elected to any positions.  Not that I was dying to be on the board, but I hate losing.  I think the people who got elected will do a great job, but I don't like losing and it felt like a popularity contest and obviously, I'm not that popular.

This meeting tried to be more organized in the past, but if people don't come prepared then all the preparation in the world won't make a difference.  If you something is sent out in advanced to read, please don't waste everyone's time and ask to discuss every change that you should have read before you got to the fricking meeting.  It would have taken you 5 minutes to read the damn thing, but instead you choose to waste 45 minutes of everyone's time.

Blarg... the season hasn't even started and people are already annoying me.  How am I supposed to ref with these people?  It sucks even more now that I'm a district I can't even ref with my friends anymore.  I've doomed myself for the rest of my reffing career to have less experienced refs as my partner for high school games.  It's not going to be easy or fun anymore.  I don't see getting a lot of college games this year since it's my first year to be eligible to do them, but we'll see.  But I won't be able to enjoy myself in those games because I'll be too worked up about not screwing up club and college varsity games.  Someone remind me why I do this?

I guess the extra cash doesn't hurt.
