is this bad business or what? i think its bad. i mean, do i have to go nagging him for the work i paid for? shouldnt he hit me up telling me he's late again?
i'm getting pissed, about to ask for refund and go with someone else

Next time tell the programmer that the job is rush, set a deadline. Telling him it's no rush gives him freedom to slack off. When you finally nag him about the progress, he scrambles to find excuse why the work isn't done. It's best that you ask for refund and look for somebody else.
