Good for you Jost, to stay off of Admin board. I find it so diificult to stay off. My last post bordered on hostile. I'm determined to stay off until September begins.
Can you tell this coworker that you were looking forward to the end of her classes so that you could get some serious work done on the project? Can you ask her right now, what her level of committment is on the project?
Can you ask her to tell you her schedule for the month of August and Sept, so that you can schedule your life too?
Sounds super frustrating. Well, I hope it doesn't affect your self-esteem. Is she 2nd author? (metaphorically speaking). Do you have any control or authority over her? Are there any consequences for her lack of effort?
Better just to clear things up at this point than to bottle up the frustration and let it boil over into the wee hours of the morning...
I hope your hideous vacation is not all hideous. Bring a camera, and try to take a picture of something neat every day. Even if it's just a baroque crack in a side walk. Grin and bear it. Take a lone walk if you need it, and don't forget the ice cream. Take some time for yourself, in the midst of all the hideousness- read a book, or get a frappucino. yawn. nap. etc.
Cheer up Jost! It's Sunday, and I think it's sunny where you are.
