In the mid-70s, my friend and co-worker Dale at Rodeway Inn in Bossier City, passed the overnight hours talking to local operators on the phone. I never could do this when I was a night auditor--I'm a 'state your business and get it over with' guy on the phone, but he was training himself for 4 hour long conversations. He never indicated the operators were bored with him, but I can't imagine otherwise!
