Josefina is M.I.A.

Last week, for the second week in a row, Josefina was not at the bookstore at 11 am Wednesday. My attempts to call her were unsuccessful, and the messages I left were not returned. I'll try calling her multiple times the next few days, but if this happens again I may request a new partner. She works the late shift, so I will try to call her a few times each morning. This is frustrating!

Erin,
That sounds really frustrating! Keep on trying to get a hold of her. Maybe even suggest that if this time is not working for her you could figure out another time. Just let her know you are there to help her. Good luck!

This situation does sound frustrating because we are all busy and our time is valuable. Perhaps, you can keep trying to work with her while also beginning to tutor someone else. Don't let this get you down and try to find someone to work with. This opportunity is such a unique, rare, and rewarding experience I would hate for you to miss out on that.

Hey, my first partner kept canceling and not showing. I felt bad always calling her and leaving her messages, but it was frustrating not knowing if she would show up or not. She had a lot going on and ended up quitting the program one day, so I requested another partner. It was hard for me to understand because I wanted to continue to help her, but at the same time this is part of our grade and I understand needing someone who is reliable.
