i am doomed

here is a compilation of the most recent emails between my supervisor and i, demonstrating the frustrations i have had to deal with for my internship for the past 3 months.

Hola Rodrigo! [*named changed to save him from being humiliated by a 20 year old exchange student*] Usted estará en la oficina este viernes o lunes, y a qué hora? Me gustaría venir para seguir investigando información de fuentes de contaminación del humedal.

["Hi Rodrigo! Will you be in the office this friday or monday, and what time? I would like to come to the office to continue my research on sources of contamination of the wetland."]

El 24 de mayo de 2012 10:52 pm, my supervisor replies:
El lunes. ["Monday"]
**okay, thanks. but you still haven't told me WHAT TIME to show up.**

["What time should I show up tomorrow?"]

El 28 de mayo de 2012 10:29 am, 1 hour and 30 minutes before he is LEAVING FROM THE OFFICE. it takes me 1 hour to get there, and i also can't be expected to just be ready to leave my house at the ring of a bell to go all the way to the other side of the city for only a 30 minute time period before i would have to leave anyway, my supervisor replies:
Estaré hasta las 12:00 hrs. Si no puedes, ven el viernes. Slds,   rodrigo 
["I'll be there until noon. If you can't make it, come on friday."]
