Me admitting I was a jerk

I was a real jerk to the hurricane vic yesterday.  I feel bad about it and I did call to apoligize but I got her voice mail.  The first time I called I did not leave an apology but the second time I did.  I was an immature jerk to her and I feel real bad about it.  Let me explain.

I had promised her that on Sunday morning she could come over and do some cleaning around the house while I did some work on the house.  I was going to pay her for what she was going to be doing at $10.00/hr.  She had originaly told me that she would be ready around noon so I stayed up late Saturday night, had a few brews and slept in Sunday morning.  Well the phone rang twice around 9:00 and and it was her.  So I answered and she was wanting to come over then and do some work.  So that was cool with me so I got up and got ready. 

She called a little later to say that one of her new friends, Pam, had a low sugar level and needed to go and get her something from the store to help her out.  That was fine so I asked her to call me when she was ready.  I was a little pissed off about that because I thought we had somthing set and this woman was old enough to take care of herself( I had already met her once, she is in her 40's or something close to that).  But that was my first mistake.  Getting irritated at her.

So I sat around and thought I would go and get some breakfast and wait on her.  Just as I pulled up to Shoney's the cell phone rang again.  She was still not ready.  I then just told her we could do this another time and we haggled a bit and then I hung up.  I lost count of how many times she called me and finally I turned the phone off.  That was mistakes two and three.

I was an immature jerk to her and fell through on my word.  I heard today she was really looking forward to coming over and making some cash so I feel extra bad.  I tried to call her later today but got the hotel answering service for her room and did not leave a message.  The ball is in her court now. 

You would think that as an adult I would have gotten over doing stupid immature things to other people.  I guess not.  I need to be better than that.
