Precisely. I understand he was trying to make himself useful, but it was obvious he wasn't ready for such a commitment both times he tried. As much as doing something of use does help, it does no one any favors if one is not emotionally and mentally ready for such a commitment.
Thank you, I do appreciate your assistance, and it is most welcome. Not only by me but by the rest of us who have been working hard recently. I do look forward to working with you, and having someone who is of stable mind on the team.
