One of my first jobs, in 1967 was 16 year old Telephone company part time night janitor. I was hired by somebody I forgot and after that I never saw anyone. I would get buzzed into the switching room, which was giant stacks of clicking mechanical relays. I swept the floor and changed light bulbs. Big batteries on one wall and after a while I noticed the wire taps located on another wall. This was a very wealthy Chicago suburb, Highland Park, and must have had plenty to tap. The real crew, that I never saw, would put random, or not, conversations on the PA for everyone's entertainment. I heard plenty of very long sex audio, and other mysterious happenings...
