Maybe I'm misunderstanding something...
She gave me a schedule on a blank calendar for 4 months and wrote the name of her son on the days she needed care, and on other days she had written "maybe" so it was not real clear what days she really needed care on, or weather it was 3, 4, or 5 days... To make this worse, she had written times in on this calendar for only 2 days of the whole month of January! Her days had also changed from being Mon, Thurs, Fri, to Mon, Wed, Thurs.
I also just want to correct, she gave this to me on Dec 23, not the 22, and then of course the holiday came and I was on vacation from Dec 24- until yesterday went and then I finally had time to sit down and review what she had given me. It was clear that this was not going to work so I sent her an offer letter on Dec 29. So it has been brewing ever since.
