As most years when the 24th is not a Friday, I worked the 11 pm to 7 am shift at our town’s 911 phone center, so employees could spend time celebrating their holiday with their families. It let’s them go to Midnight services.
It was B”H a quiet night. No fire dispatches, 2 ambulance/EMS calls, one to a local nursing home and another for a woman gone into labor. No 911 calls for police emergency on the overnight.
I went to shul on the way home and will go back for a noon to 4 pm mini shift this afternoon. Regular employees return for the 4-midnight shift this afternoon.
