Had to hunt the W down today to get info on what day she is flying back in to help pack and move.

Covered a couple things, empathized about her being stuck doing reports instead of being at the hackathon that she wanted too.

She hasn't booked a flight back yet, and seems to be more focused on her self (selfish streak is strong in this one). I can see how she feels this way though. She spent 14 years "taking care of others" (though the last couple years it was the other way around... though I don't think she will see this for a while).

We talked a little about work, it is funny she commented how she doesn't make as much as me (I've been in my field for 17 years, and this is her first actual job in the industry). I told her to give it time, and she will do just fine.

She is still bouncing around trying to get her place nailed down. Apparently she won't leave until getting the keys (instead of getting the keys when she shows up)..

I get the feeling that she is living moment by moment lately, balanced on the tip of exhaustion and burn out at work. She has been depressed and burnt out like this since the end of her school in March. I wish I could do something to help her, but she has done this one to her self. Me rescuing won't help her one bit.

The call ended fine, I wished her a great day, and she replied with the same. It's nice to be at least cordial in our responses. That is an improvement from a month or two ago.
