Last Saturday I got to be a time keeper fro the Young Women's basketball games at our Stake Center. We have 6 wards, so we had three games to watch and time, score, and cheer on.
It always takes a little while to get in the groove again after almost a year of not running a scoreboard to remember just what it is I am supposed to do.
I thought I had it all figured out, and the first game began. Less than a full minute I realized that the clock portion (a slightly important element in my TIME keeping assignment) wasn't counting down. I had to interrupt the game, stop the action, call an audible--oh, wait, that is football. I had to ask for an "officials time out" to get some help to restart the clock. Duh...
I finally got it together and the game resumed.
Afterwards our Stake Presidency counselor who was there watching his daughter play had to give me a hard time. (This is regular banter now between us. It is much like a senior teasing a lowly freshman, who usually can't help being a geek.)
Finally I told him, "Hey, this wasn't like I was favoring either side. My bias is unanimous because I suck equally for both teams here."
At which point he laughed and told me that he'd be sure to pass that information onto President A. at their next Stake Presidency meeting. Then added as he walked away, "But that still won't get you fired."
Drats; foiled again.

LOL! I'm assuming the easy banter was with that one guy who runs that one store on Main....
I got an idea to get you fired.
Send in a resume to the Stake Pres telling how you want to be the YW/Primary Stake Pres and why you qualify.....
