<<<<<If I painted a picture that all judging assignments are great that was inaccurate. For Jeannie to paint a picture that judges are saints for taking all of those horrid judging assignments is just as inaccurate. >>>>> I never said judges were saints - just telling it like it is. My post was a very accurate description of a recent judging engagement here this year. It was not inaccurate, just typical of what occurs - if you had been here, you would know it was not inaccurate. Overseas assignments only come along every few years or so but judging locally happens frequently , well at least a quarter of the weekends of a year - I turn down more judging than I accept for the reasons I have outlined. - Every time I have judged a specialty overseas - you know all those glamour ones in the ballrooms, visiting etc, I have paid my own fare , paid housesitters back home and been severely out of pocket to do so.
<<<<<<There are good judging assignments people actively seek>>>..I do not solicit appointments. <, and bad ones people take for the benefit of those who show.>>>>> just as I have described.
