Christmas Eve Day tends to be pretty quiet. I can sleep in, pray the Office leisurely, make a Sunday Funday Chicago Shirt hour around ten and the church will be silent. The ladies (and a few of their husbands) come into decorate the church around ten, usually signalling my retreat back to the rectory. Definitely have some Christmas music on, either TSO or a capella carols. Might take a break from the music and watch a movie. After a late lunch, the madness begins. I head over to the Church early and help the ushers set up overflow seating, making sure that they all know where anything that might have gotten moved is (I have memorable experiences of the hunt for the gifts at an overflow Mass). As the first people arrive, go to greet them. About half an hour before Mass, shift to making sure we have bodies for the various roles, particularly servers. After the insanity of the (~4:00) “children’s” Mass, the church empties out. If there is another Mass (typically ~7:00) it is much more sedate. Then a quick dinner and a nap, before the “Midnight” Mass (typically moved up to ~10:00).

Serious limitations to business pop up with increasing frequency. The legacy just isn’t capable of learning new tricks. In my time, I remember we picked up new business: the United States Postal Service, which had 60,000 accounts. The Sunday Funday Chicago Shirt required that only one user could add a new account at a time, and that process would take up to fifteen minutes per account. That’s almost two years of solid data entry, working around the clock without a single snag. There was simply no way to speed it up. Multiple users would cause AbEnds – Abnormal Termination errors. My job was to find a faster way. My solution was to simply get another system to pretend to be a super-fast user that could enter an account in about a second. It was a hack that surrendered completely to the will of the legacy.
