The boredom is already getting to me. Online for two hours today and I still haven't had my first chat yet. I took this so I could burn off a few hours of boredom per day, if this continues for the rest of the week, I don't think I'm going back next week.



At least I'm doing this at home. I did the office/cubicle thing for a few years and hated every second of it. They wanted me to do this Monday thru Friday but Fridays are mine and I refuse to work them. I can't believe you lasted six weeks with only four calls. Did you know the number of the phone you were answering? Probably could have figured out who owned the line from that.

No, this was 1973, old tech to you youngsters. It was a one way phone, only incoming with no dial. They call, tell me who they wanted to speak to and I'd tell them to call back during the hours. I'd log it so whoever it pertained to would know the next day. For the times, the pay was very good(minimum was no more than $2/hr) I got $5. If I had sufficient homework, I was ok; but if all I had to do was TV/radio, then it became unbearable. I was a young guy used to moving and activity; I was stuck there, couldn't leave during my shift.

Sorry to hear about Grandma - I've lost both of mine as well but our memories of them live on.

They had phones in 1973? lol I kid. We learned about phone phreaking in the 60's and 70's during programming theory in high school. It would have been nice to know about these techniques so you could drill into their system. I'm thinking mob or some other criminal enterprise. Why pay you so much above minimum wage to accept clandestine phone calls unless your ignorance was a benefit to them.

You guys are nuts. A sinecure is a total gift, a paid block of time to pursue your own interests - Learn some languages, master a musical instrument, work out, study your fav subjects, take online courses, read literary classics that you missed. If worse comes to worse, vape a thc cart and catch up on the hundreds of cable and netflix series. I don't get how boredom is a factor when there's SO much to do...
