What would you do/ Should I do?
I work a 2nd part time job Jan-April for an accountant. Its great money and very easy.
He texted me Tuesday to see if I could work this Saturday. I texted him back about 1 hr later after I changed a few things around with my weekend. I said sure, what time?
I never heard back from it. 2-3 hours later I texted him again what time should I be there?
Thursday I text him again asking him what time Saturday (since at this pint I had come into some other plans I really wanted to do) I never heard back again. So yesterday I went ahead and made these plans. I figured something must have come up and he's really busy.
Today at 12:30 I get a text, how is 9-3 on Saturday?
I really don't want to cancel b/c this is going to be the 1st time working for him this season(he doesn't have anyone else as of now, but I don't want him to think I am letting him down, or make him think I might be un-reliable), but I asked many times what time and he never got back to me, and I have a lot of things to do tomorrow along with the plans I made.
Do I text him and let him know I'm sorry but since I didn't hear back from him since Tuesday I can't make it, but I can do Monday night instead?
or
Do I just go and cancel my plans now at the last minute but tell him I have to leave at 1:30 so I can still get the really important things done?
thanks for any advice!!

Re: What would you do/ Should I do?
I'd go and stay the whole time if you want to stay on his good side. I probably would've kept the whole day free, figuring since he asked, he needed me, but I know what you mean; he definitely should have responded more quickly about the time.

He has done this before and he usually cancels. He has even gone as far as had me go there and forget to show up, that's the only reason i made plans at the last minute.

Re: What would you do/ Should I do?
Why not just be straightforward and tell him you made other plans after you didn't get a response to your inquiries to confirm the day and time, then ask if it's OK to do another time, or let him know that if Saturday is really important you'll cancel your Saturday plans and be there. Let him know you're willing, but he's put you in an inconvenient situation so he's aware you're going out of your way for him.

It depends on how much you want your 2nd p/t job knowing he's flaked out before.

I would probably do this.
