About a month ago, I was visiting my neighbor / friend, and we got to talking, and he offered to let me come over twice a week and help him with odd jobs around the house (mostly cleaning) and he would pay me @15/hour. He is older, and lives alone, so I figured we would both benefit – I need the money, he needs the help.

The first couple of times, everything was great. I came over, did some work, and he paid me. But then, in the several times since, he has either cancelled or when I came over, said, “Oh, today isn’t a good day.”

I know he is a little scattered, but it’s kinda annoying me. It happened again Tues, and so I sent him an email, basically saying, “If you don’t want / need my help, let me know – you won’t hurt my feelings.” And it’s been almost five days and no response. (I know he is OK because he goes to work every day.)

I am not going over again until I hear from him, but I am scared he is mad at me. I don’t know why he would be mad at me, but why else would he not get back to me? Any ideas??
