| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:11 | comment | added | crypton480 | Thank you for your response. @Suresh: I do need the paper submitted to help a job application and I told her that. I did not write the whole story in the question as it started to seem like a rant. I will try calling her (again). | |
| Jun 10, 2014 at 20:06 | comment | added | Suresh | In reference to the second point, it would help if you could give her an external reason for speeding things up. You need to publish the paper for a job application, or at least submit it, and so on... Sometimes that can act as a forcing function: academics work best on deadline. | |
