That's typical of the way things have been going there, and why I've somehow let three months skip along before I suddenly realized I wasn't getting paid anything.  Friday he emailed me and said something not-quite-clear, like "I'm going to have drawings for you I need Monday." So I wrote back and asked "Do you have them ready for me now, or you will have them for me on Monday?" He wrote back a one-word reply: "Monday."
