I got to talk to John last night. Its been far too long since we've had a decent conversation. Chatted him for about an hour but then again I was going to the time commanders night so I had to cut it short.
He's having some of the usual set of problems as well as a few more specific things, though I think I've helped give him a better perspective. Good luck John with the coursework and don't forget working no matter how slowly means you have less to do, procrastinating just wastes time.
Yes I know thats fairly obvious advice but as I've found out if your stressed etc the obvious common sense stuff is really hard to spot and usually the most helpful.
You can find a diary here:

There's a big long talk vaguely scheduled for sometime over christmas where I think we have a day ear marked to talk through John's problems and me to 'fix' them as best as I can.
Of course in return he says I can bounce at him about P over christmas. He has no idea what he's letting himself in for ;-)
I'm get worried though, I appear to be developing an ego. Its all these compliments I'm getting from P and the fact I'm clearly very good at helping people and a few other things. Yes an ego, must be careful...
The other thing is Laura's really surprised me today, really really surprised me. I'm looking forward to the next time we get to talk, email just doesn't always cut it. Its good when your close friend surprise you, its just a bit distracting when your trying to work.
Anyway YAY!!!!! *bounce I get to see P tonight *bounce*
