Finally some excitement at work.

I've been waiting for awhile to have some excitement at work. Finally we got it. We had to cancel a sports tournament because the organizers hadn't followed some rules.

What an outcry! You'd think the world was ending with the angry phone calls and emails. These are 14 year old boys. Trust me, they'll get over it in about 24 hours.

Lots of hysterical people demanded that we be fired for enforcing the rules. Even a few people within the organization said we were in the wrong - which frankly shocks me.

If you don't want your team abiding by the rules, withdraw from the league. Play the other teams who also have agreed NOT to abide by the rules.

If you think the rules are unfair try to change them. There's a process for that.

If you none of the above applies, lead by example and teach your kids that self-sacrifice is sometimes the right thing to do.
