Someplace, somewhere is a Test Chair a couple of months before the Test.
  | 
"Okay, this time I'm getting ahead of the test. Everything's 
organized and ready to go." | 
Then the Test Chair tries to get volunteers
  | 
"Who wants to be an ice monitor? 
Anyone? Anyone?" | 
Finally, by using persuasion, bribery, and underhanded techniques, the Test Chair gets some volunteers.
And suddenly, the test is oversubscribed...and people start registering late.
  | 
| "We'll pay the late registration fee! Please let us in!" | 
The Test Chair's plans now look like this:
  | 
| "Oh, no! Only a week to go!" | 
Meanwhile, the testing skaters ready themselves with confidence and calm certitude.
  | 
| OMG! Coach just added ANOTHER SPIN with a week to go!!! | 
Tomorrow: Test Day!
 
I love love love your kitten series. Thumbs up to all wonderful volunteers who keep our sport going!!
