I'm back skating; toe is doing a lot better so I'm happy about that.
I was also elected as Head Referee for our league for 2020! I ran unopposed, but still - I'M IN CHARGE OF THIS WHOLE REFEREEING SHE-BANG NOW
whoop whoop
I found our crew's old helmet camera in the storage locker and am employing it. I took footage of last night's scrimmage (I was sole pack ref). Not quite sure I want to look at it, as it probably will be nothing but "PACK IS - HERE - WAIT - NO PACK - DAMMIT - OUT OF PLAY IN FRONT I SCREWED THAT UP".
I SOed again a few weekends ago at a smaller league about an hour away. It was supposed to be a Level 2 juniors/regulation double header, but the venue's HVAC got backed up or something and started dumping water into the OPR lane two jams into the second half of the second game.
I had one disaster - I set my keyboard hotkeys so that shift + that key is the undo of that key's action. This was fine, except at one point I accidentally hit the shift lock key and was like WAIT WHY ARE THE TEAMS LOSING POINTS WHY DIDN'T THE JAM START PROPERLY GAAAAAAAH. Took a short OTO, got everything set, everything was fine.
This weekend I'm going to Pioneer Valley Roller Derby's Late Night Derby Affair (pretty much a combination of scrimmages, wacky zany scrimmages, SKATE DANCE PARTY and fun). I've wanted to go the last several years and since this is the last one apparently, no time like the present.
