Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yay, meara!
I went for a run at dawn and it was already kinda too hot and muggy. Then when I got home and looked at the time it was actually time to drive to work. So, came in late, and now it seems without my phone. Monday.
But the new adhesive strips I got for my FasTrak appear to be holding, so I got that going for me which is nice.
That's weird. My phone just called itself. My landline phone and the caller ID showed my name and the number of the phone itself. I answered and no one was there. Is this an omen?
Clone!
Or robot duplicate! Or evil twin!
They're calling from inside the house!

It's a phone scam where the caller spoofs your number on the caller ID. It's weird as hell to see it pop up, but that's all it is: [link]
t edit It happened to us the other day, and I read about it a couple of weeks ago. My aunt (who lived with my grandfather until he passed away, and still lives in the house, and never transferred the phone number out of my grandfather's name) got a call like this where the caller ID showed my grandpa's name, and she is CONVINCED that it was God (or my grandpa) sending her a message. She was so happy about it that I didn't want to tell her it was a phone scam. Is that wrong?

Bastards.
Somewhat relatedly, in the entire history of the universe, has anyone ever received an automated call that starts out saying, "This is not a sales call" and the call was actually not a sales call?
Reading about the Hobby Lobby decision (Boooooo!) just now reminded me of a kind of great thing from the jury duty materials -- you can get out of serving if you're the sole care giver for a disabled person, which you have to prove with a note from a doctor -- or a Christian Science practitioner. Is that just a Massachusetts thing, or do other states specify that??
Wouldn't surprise me if MA has the largest population of CS in the US (or anywhere, for that matter.)
I think I remember seeing that kind "doctor or CS practitioner" wording on something official her in CA. Could've been a jury duty thing. I know there's always the "swear or affirm" verbage, although I forget who that's for.
Sophia, if it makes you feel better, I am also sleeveless today. Because it's freaking hot. I tried putting on lightweight pants this morning and that was just too uncomfortable, so I'm in a light skirt and sleeveless silk top and could not face even carrying a jacket even though I knew it would be chilly inside with the A/C. Shorts (and too short shorts seems to imply that shorts are okay office apparel if they are long enough, in which case - what are you wearing that's inappropriate? Out of curiosity about the dress code.)
I think technically that tank tops/sleeveless is against dress code here. I'm wearing them, regardless, but when I leave my cubicle I put a pashmina around my shoulders. No quibbles yet. It's a nice, wide-strapped plain colored tank top, so the only objection would be to seeing my flabby upper arms.
