Yesterday, I worked with one of my co-workers (not the main problem co-w). This co-worked and I worked together regularly for seven or eight months, twice a week, and then we had an agreement to work on New Years Day, 2006.

She called me about an hour before she was due, and was very upset, a little hung-over, she didn't want to come. I tried to calm her down and told her to rest and take care.

Then I had a family emergency and she went home to Denmark for a few weeks. For some reason, she never got back in touch with me. I called and emailed at various times, but I was distracted by family problem, then she didn't call, I didn't call.

I figured we'd work again pretty soon, but didn't happen. She had too many other things to do. At various times would say she would have more time after x. After X, something else had come up.

We worked together five/six times in July and then three days this week. We had this talk, in which I tried to impress on her that it was getting disturbing for it to have been almost a year. Got her to "promise" that we would work together twice a week starting in Nov (unless something else comes up).

Turns out she quit smoking on the first day. When she came yesterday, I thought she was about to gnaw off her own leg she was in such a state. She told me this story about how someone had promised to do something (work-related) and then reneged, or make it hard for her to work. (I thought-- Gee!!! I'm soooo sorrry, how awful for you---but why don't you just Suck It Up, M?" -- but I said, that's too bad, blablablah.)

After another burst of bad humor, she agreed to get Nicorette. instead of our working right away, and come back. Turns out Nicorette is incredibly expensive. Insanely so. So she didn't have enough money. But it seemed to have helped to get up and go out, and to be thinking about getting the Nicorette- Maybe she had some coffee-- because she was gone for a long time.

I did get a little work done.

Then someone came over and we had a really good time, but my Sig O seemed to be in a somewhat rotten mood. We had a fight. Grr. I don't know if he really does like me or respect me much. Other than theoretically. So I"m bummed.

Today someone else is coming, which is a brewing non-starter.

I also need a nap. I think my SigO would be much happier with someone else to be honest. It's too bad he isn't with whoever it is.
