Other people are inconsiderate and let you down? I am hovering between anger and anxiety!

I have been working on an assignment with another classmate and she is not pulling her weight. It is too late to change the arrangement. We are supposed to meet with a third party today at 8:45am to set up our community volunteer project. She left me a message on my cell phone stating she is not coming!!! Which means I have to go alone, I am unprepared, and well duh...there is a reason I am working with a partner on this project!! To lighten the workload and the stress.

This is just so frustrating. Doesn't she realize that she is required to be present to have her paperwork signed for our instructor stating she is participating?? I could cover for her and try to get it signed, but why should I?? I have done all the work so far by myself. Well I will tell you why I will do it...this person gives me a ride to school once a week. It is quite a long distance to school and I have anxiety about driving so much.

Thanks for listening to me vent!

Lisa, How terrible! You're in nursing school, right? I can tell you right now the instructors would not look lightly at this. DO NOT get the paper signed for her. She needs to do her share, also. Is it possible she has a good reason for not being able to attend today? Some people don't share their problems as openly as others, maybe there is something going on her life that you don't know about? I always try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt (bad habit of mine!) I'm sure you will do fine on your own. The person you are going to see will be expecting you and I'm sure everything will flow fine. Please let us know how you make out.

Yep, I'm in nursing school. Hope to graduate in May.

After posting this morning I decided to call this girl and remind her that she needed to be present to get her paperwork signed and she agreed to go. She stated she was having some problems and she was tired.

So we went to the appointment and it was fine, then we went to class. Class was uneventful. The rest of my day was spent trying to fend off anxiety. I am feeling it starting to come on. Too many ups and downs today. My doctor called and needs to reschedule a procedure I was to have on Friday. Grrr now I cannot get in until November. Apparently they must believe that I have time to spare...last test results were good.

Now I am off to bed....

Thanks for responding :-)
