[MR] North/South UnEvent

[Becky McEllistrem]

If I'm going to reach a northern event any time before
2 am I leave work early.  Granted I have a more
flexible schedule than some but so do many
northerners.

I won't be there from a previous church commitment. 
If I didn't have said commitment I would be there. 
But I can tell you for more than a decade regardless
of job situation I have left early.  Northerners have
seen me a lot and every time the see me it's because
I've left work early too. 

I do believe some northerners don't have flexible work
schedules and can't leave work early.  I don't believe
all northerners have work schedules and can't leave
early.

I know that this is only going to happen once maybe
twice a month for me and plan accordingly.
