It’s the second time I’ve had a random solicitation for work around the house this Summer and the second time I’ve said/done *something* I don’t recognize as problematic but which has generated a negative attitude.
I guess maybe my bewilderment (and mild annoyance) at the pitch and its unexpectedness is evident? Is it so obvious that I’m not going to sign a contract at the moment? Or do a handshake agreement? Or engage in any sort of affirmative executive function?
