Distance and Time Off

[BatteryPowered]

My work is 54 miles from my home...so I set my zip code in The Arbiter closer to work than home. As a result I get a lot of the outlying schools in our coverage area. This season (the first with this office location) I have driven an average of 30-45 minutes to a game. Now, many times that means I have a 1 1/2 hour drive home after the game.

Several members of senior management with this company have kids that play (or did play) basketball and they find it interesting that I officiate. I can usually take off as needed to get to my games...I just send an email to several people each week with the days (and times) I will be leaving the office early.
