*this is another one where I’m not 100% sure about the translation. I saw “replaces”, “substitute”, “replaces [someone]”. I picked substitutes because it seems clearer.

My mother also worked at a switch board. When she moved into hospitality, and the guests needed to make a call, the switch board operators immediately clocked her as having worked there. My mother presented the information about the outgoing call request exactly as the operator preferred to hear it to quickly make the connection.
I feel you about wishing you had more time with your grandmother. I was far too young to even know what questions I could have asked, and it would have been so interesting to hear about the occupation during WW2 and the early post war years.
Not to mention the fact I miss her in general, she was the sweetest lady a grandson could ever ask for ❤️
My grandmother was a bit of a nightmare XD She was most likely a narcissist. And not in a non formal way. I was spared from the worst, as she saw herself in me and liked me.
Mother was fucked up. Unsure how twin fared.
Buuuut interesting life. Telephone operator, soda jerk, then eventually first to graduate college (well teaching college at the time) and taught on a reservation. So fun times! Exciting.
She also liked to watch very loud porn in her living quarters downstairs. I was the only one with a room downstairs as well. I will go back to removing those memories lol/
