All Packed And No Place To Go

[nemorathwald]

I was all packed to move to Novi tonight, but Bahb called today to tell me they've decided not to get another roommate. Keep an eye out for opportunities for me. I'm not going to unpack any more than I need to.

That's nuts, telling you that at the last minute. What the hell?

Yeah, ditto that.

Well it was kind of rushed. Also the armed forces weren't going to keep the airplane waiting on the runway for Mike, so it wasn't convenient for them.

I'm confused. What does that have to do with them not telling you yesterday? Or several days ago? Or just it wasn't convenient for them to do the moving thing today, so they decided not to do it at all? Weird.

I don't understand the context here. I'm tempted to say that you dodged a bullet, since I wouldn't want to have roommates so flaky they'd pull something like that at the last minute.

What I mean is, it was hardly more than a week ago that I suggested the idea, and maybe it was kind of sudden for them. The second thing is that maybe the timing was awkward for them, what with Mike leaving to be in the military for a year and that made it a really busy environment. So that timing could make it difficult for them to find time to consult each other fully in private about it, or tell me about it in a way they perhaps would have preferred. I don't want to rush to conclusions in a vacuum of knowledge.
