At the Holiday Inn. Me.

"I hate to be an asshole here, but this is the *third* time I've come down to tell you people that I'm extending my stay until Wednesday."

"..."

"The room is locked out."

"Oh. Yes, you're not in our system."

"I'd be much happier if I was."

"So...When?"

"Wednesday."

"Okay. That should be fine."

10 minutes later. At the Holiday Inn. Roommate.

"I need to get a wakeup call at 7:30 tomorrow."

"For what room?"

"227. And I need to schedule a shuttle to the airport so I can be there by nine."

"Okay. And will all of you be going?"

"Uhm, no. At least one of us will be staying until Wednesday."

"So you need a shuttle at nine?"

"No. I need the shuttle to get me to the airport by nine."

"Well, it's only about five minutes. So 8:40?"

"...?"

"..."

"Right. 8:40 will be fine. And a wakeup call at 7:30."

"7:30. What room?"

"The one that will be occupied until Wednesday."
