English term or phrase: ring my chimes
Hola. No hay más contexto que este, es un diálogo entre dos jubiladas. Yo entiendo lo que quiere decir ring my chimes. Pero no sabría cómo poner algo en español que quede bien. Gracias a todos desde ya por su invalorable colaboración.

-Telephone operator? How could you do that for 30 years?

-Rang my chimes.

agree  alidalc: Esta opción me gusta, porque usando "llamar" no se pierde el doble sentido de "telephone operator" y "ring".

me ponía como unas campanillas/me entusiasmaba


Explanation:
Sin más contexto, es ambiguo, porque podría ser que el trabajo sí la divirtiera o entusiasmara, o se puede interpretar como que ella se "ponía las pilas" (se daba manija solita/o)
