What gets me is J seemed convinced that what's in your head and your knowledge base is tied to what you wear. That if you're wearing casual clothes there's no way in jerk you can do a technical job. That's like telling a surgeon that there's no way he knows how to operate if he's not wearing scrubs.
What I think the client was thinking when they said they'd pay for 20 hrs/week work is "We'll JUST pay for 20 hrs/week but we EXPECT you to work 45 hrs/week." And the old standby "Why the jerk should we listen to people who actually know what the jerk they're doing??"
I got this a lot. I'm a pedestrian by nature so I walk a lot. I can honestly say I've lost count of how many times some idiot driver has almost hit me, mostly at intersections. I was almost hit by a woman who made an illegal right turn, once by a guy who blew the red turn signal, once by a woman who decided to make her turn right as I stepped of the curb to cross the street. That's just off the top of my head. It seems that most drivers either don't see pedestrian (or cyclists) or are convinced that hitting one is no big deal.
He did everything he should have done to start to rebuild trust. I hope he understands that it's a long process but you both can recover from this. He's doing the work but one thing he absolutely should do is find the root of the problem, of WHY he thought he needed/deserved/felt entitled to cheat.
