mycological madman?

more mushroom mysteries. is anyone else as fascinated by this?

yesterday i got home and found a second message on my answering machine, this time from tina, demanding that leon call her back immediately, but at a different number than the one that mike left a few days ago telling leon it was imperative to call immediately. i waited until after 5 and called the numbers both back to see what kind of voice mail they had, looking for clues. unfortunately, both numbers led to a very generic "welcome to academy services." so at least it's just one person who thinks i'm leon. next, i called the number back and hit zero for the operator, figuring at the very least they should tell me who the heck they are and take me off their list, and maybe if they're nice tell me if i should worry for my personal safety.

apparently nickelodeon and food network tv show hosting isn't very lucrative, because i had a lovely conversation with marc summers, who is the academy services telephone operator. marc told me the place was called academy collection services, and that should tell me what they did. he couldn't find my name or number anywhere on leon's account, but said that sometimes they do call neighbors trying to locate people, although he wasn't sure if that was why i was getting calls.

so i don't know if leon took my name off of my mailbox and looked up my phone number to try and avoid the collection people, or if it was just a random neighbor dial that happened twice in a row. marc implied that leon has multiple accounts with them by multiple clients looking to collect, and that maybe one of those clients had my number for some reason... i don't know. if i don't stop getting calls, should i call my landlord? or just cancel my land line altogether? is it sad that this is the biggest drama in my life?
