Just called my office. There was a 2-4 second pause, but then a recording started playing. I can't recall exactly what it said, but it had nothing to do with the Houston Chronicle. 5 seconds after the recording started, the line disconnected.
A machine would say that i'm receiving a call from someone, but there'd just be a noise in the spot where someone's supposed to say their name. And it'd say to press 1 to accept, but when I accept, they'd have already hung up.
