A PRAYER FOR THE STRESSED UMPIRE????????

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill today because they got on my nerves. And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today as they may be connected to the feet I may have to kiss tomorrow.

Help me always give 100%  at work…......

l2%  on Monday

23% on Tuesday

40% on Wednesday

20% on Thursday

and 5 % on Friday 

And help me to remember. . . When I’m having a bad day and it seems that people are trying to wind me up, it takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 to smile and only 4 to extend my arm and smack someone in the mouth! 

Does that all seem all too familiar for some matches you have umpired, apparently the Chief Coach has a very big shoulder to cry on if so needed.
