We're doomed!

I have a temp job available. Put an ad on Craigslist. One fine young millennial who responded wanted to meet me on Friday. For your enjoyment, here is our email correspondence- without the "Hello"s and "Bye"s.

Thursday- Her- I could definitely meet with you tomorrow, if that works. I'll also give you a call in a bit to discuss more!
Me- Anytime after about 8 am works for the call, will plan on being around town after about 1pm.
Her- Sounds great, Mark - will call after 8 am! Thanks!

Friday 12.39 pm- Sorry I haven't called yet - I've had a super busy day, plus my cell phone screen cracked, so I was going to call you from the University. I could just meet you down at Liquid Planet whenever you are going to be there, and we can chat about addressing the envelopes. Hope your day is going well!
2.47 pm- I am at LP now, so just come on down and call me when you get here so we can figure out who is who.
3.21 pm- Is there any way I can help you tomorrow during the day instead? I am feeling a bit ill, and just took my temperature and have a low fever. I think it's just a little bug, and I should be fine by tomorrow. Will you be at Liquid Planet tomorrow? I would be glad to help you out then!
3.23 pm-Take care of yourself, and call me tomorrow. I should be here in the afternoon...
3.25 pm- Okay, awesome, Mark - thanks so much. Will be in touch tomorrow, for sure.

Saturday- 12.22pm- I am feeling worlds better, and can meet you down at Liquid Planet, if you are down there? I would love to help out with the cards today!
1.04 pm- I just arrived, and am waiting for my coffee to be made. I am wearing a gray shirt, working on a blue laptop.
1.21 pm- I can be down there inside of this hour, though it may be closer to 2 pm - hope that's okay! I will look for you in the back via your description! See you soon!
1.39 pm- Actually, possibly just a few mins after 2 - sorry for delays!
2.33 pm- I am running so far behind today, I am so sorry - I have had a lot of errands/things to catch up on since I wasn't feeling well this week. Sorry to keep you waiting. Are you still down at Liquid Planet?
2.34 pm- Yes, for now.
2.39 pm- I am on my way down there now, and will be there soon. Sorry for delays.
2.56 pm- I am not sure you will still be there by the time I get there. I am so sorry to keep you waiting, and for any inconvenience, but there was so much to get done since I have not been feeling well and lost time this past week. It might be better to just reschedule for tomorrow, if you are going to be at Liquid Planet as well then. I will be able to focus on your project and won't be distracted with other things I need to get done today. Again, I am so sorry. I am a fast writer though, and could knock out those cards quickly for you. If you want to meet tomorrow instead, I think that could be a better option.

Sunday 11.39 am- If you are going to be at Liquid Planet today, I can still help you, if you need the help. Sorry for the inconvenience/setbacks.
12.38 pm- I have engaged someone else to do the work.

Seriously? I skipped the first emails that included her needing this work to get together $200 for a rent deposit. For someone who REALLY needs the money her effort (besides typing emails on her broken smart phone) is severely lacking.

economy, work
