Chess - unfortunately, many of us that have been around for awhile have had similar experiences with partners.
Speaking from experience as an assignor, it sometimes gets to the point where you just take warm bodies to fill the spots, I don't like it, but it is a reality. You just assign the game and hope (pray) for the best.
Best advice I can provide is to do your job and cover your responsibilities to the best of your ability. Be supportive of your partner on the field, but don't be a janitor, let him clean up his own messes......
