6:16 a.m. - Last night I worked at 1A SuperSectional at Sterling. The two partners I worked with were fine. One (first base) had been to the State Finals in 2017; the other (plate) is going this year (this week). The plate partner specifically told me in a conversation that this was his third Super, and while he wasn't being critical, he felt like this year was "his turn". Here's the deal. I don't want a state finals assignment to be "my turn" - like I'm going to the State Finals because I'm finally old enough and have been waiting in line. Since beginning officiating/umpiring I wanted to go because I had demonstrated that I earned the designation...that I was one of the best officials/umpires that the state needed to hire to be part of a great state finals event. Taking "my turn" just seems to be very anticlimactic. Maybe that's why I wasn't all that excited about working last night's SuperSectional. It was fun to be part of a game with a big crowd in a tournament situation, but I don't think I had the "WOW" factor that perhaps some people thought I was supposed to have. Today, it's back to reality - a double-double. I'm trying to figure out if I want to drive home in between doubles or just find a place to take a nap.
