Distance and Time Off

[RedAndWhiteRef]

Closest game to me is a five-minute drive. I'm in a certain college town in Central VA so there are 3-4 schools in the immediate area and we cover all the adjacent counties plus a couple more. Most schools not in the immediate area are 30-40 minute drives away. Today I have to go to the furthest school we cover, which is about an hour-and-fifteen-minute drive one way. Luckily someone else from the crew is driving .

I work in the service industry so there is no "leaving the office early"--either I can work or I have to ask off. Fortunately my assigner is pretty good about getting assignments out in a timely manner. Most of the time I'm able to work day shift and still make it to my game with plenty of time to spare
