Past tense / Present tense

Scenario: I'm working at two places tommorow but I don't feel like working at one of them so I just call in sick and tell them that I can't work. And now I'm talking to my pal about this.

Which one is correct? I'm a bit confused with the word 'anymore' in here. I think we have a compatibility problem?

1. I am double booked tomorrow but I'm not anymore because I just called in sick.
2. I was double booked tomorrow but I'm not anymore because I just called in sick.

What about this:

3. I am supposed to be working working at two places tommorow but I'm not anymore because I just called in sick.

4. I was supposed to be working working at two places tommorow but I'm not anymore because I just called in sick.

Thanks.

Hello Jack Yes, #1/#3 are contradictory. #2/#4 is fine, except that 'anymore' => 'any more', 'tommorow' => 'tomorrow'. MrP
