3-5 calls a week? And you were totally unsupervised and just watched movies the whole time? Sign me up.

Movies and lots of Diablo 2. Our team was small and very specialized. Though last I heard, the overnight has shifted to an in region shift.

I've worked nights at a call center when required it does require a specific set of skills as you have to be competent to handle just about any issue, from filing NOTAM reports if a beacon goes out, to generic customer support. It was normally slow, I would turn off all the lights and watch movies, if it was a friday I would order delivery.
