On the Road Again...
Hi O-7,
Actually, I hadrequested [Name deleted to preserve some slight semblance of anonymity] be my roommate (this is NOTHING personal - [Name deleted, again] and I have been rooming together at the summit for five years, and she’sused to my snoring J). I’m not sure if [Flunky 1] made a mistake,but I asked her to check. So rooms might end up getting shuffled. I’mreally sorry if this is aproblem.
And if [Flunky 2] doesn’tchange things around, then howdy back and welcome aboard! I wasn’tplanning on getting to the hotel until about 8pm anyway, so I wouldn’tworry about being disruptive. I’ll probably still be awake. Are you flying into Logan? I hope the weather is OK - we’re supposed to get a big honkin’storm Friday and Saturday (the emails about “planning to work from hometomorrow” are whizzing in even as we speak!), but I think it’ssupposed to clear out by Sunday. I hope so!
Take care,
-AR
I got to thinking and I sent an email to Flunky1 saying if it was easier, I'd be happy to spend the money to have a single. That resulted in this rather snippy email 3:
Hi,
We are not changing roommates.
Look forward to seeing you next week.
Thank you,
[Flunky1's boss]
Followed, ironically, by this fourth one:
Hi O-7,
They went ahead andswitched the rooms so that [ND] and I could room together. You shouldbe hearing today (I would hope) who your roomie is, but if all they did isswitch the rooms, then you’ll probably be in with [Other spurned roommate] (thewoman they had in with [ND]).
Thanks again for beingso understanding! I really appreciate it.
Take care, and I hopeyour trip is uneventful,

So I arrived at the hotel without any clear idea of who, if anybody, I was rooming with. According to the front desk, it is, in fact, the other spurned roommate.
Arrrgh!!!! I need my tea!
