ON MAY 1: Before Carl left on a two-week vacation, he called Pam and told her he would pay her $5,000 if she painted the interior of Carl’s home while he was gone. Carl said the job would also require the scraping off of the wallpaper in some rooms. Pam said she was not sure she could do it for $5,000. Carl said, “Well, think about it. Decide later if you want. If you agree, just come over and do it.” Carl then departed on vacation. ON MAY 2: Pam went to Carl’s house and spent an hour scraping and removing wallpaper. After that hour of work, Pam realized the job would entail more hours than she expected, and she would need to be paid more than $5,000 for the work. Pam stopped working at Carl’s house and left.  ON MAY 3: Pam was offered a different interior painting job at someone else’s house — a job that would take the next month to complete and would pay her much more than Carl’s job. Pam emailed Carl saying that she had decided not to do Carl’s job. On that same day, Carl received and read Pam’s email. ON MAY 15: Carl returned home. Carl discovered that he could not hire anyone else to remove the remaining wallpaper and paint his house for less than $8,500. Carl demanded that Pam finish the work that she had begun. Pam refused.
