llrrrpp: You sound so sad right now. I think it was really assertive of you to let your boss know what you think about her lateness, and how it makes you feel. Especially since it's something your T has been encouraging you to do. I think you deserve credit for that. Often when I do stuff in the grips of a bout of depression I write it off to desperation or stupidity -- but to someone else is seems like nothing but bravery.
You say that you felt guilty saying something because your advisor is so nice. And also that you can still care for her even though she has these short-comings. Well it sounds like, from her touching concern for you, that despite what you think of yourself at the moment, she obviously finds you a good person, and worth the worry. I don't even know you, but from your posts to me I think you're very friendly and considerate. Though I haven't been posting for very long I have been reading, and your presense on this board would be missed if it wasn't here.
Don't isolate. It's not from those you're closest to here, but I'm going to give you my first cyberhug ever. (((((llrrrpp))))), take care.
