He did say he thinks he may be trying to distract himself from thinking about the job interview. And I told him it was a good thing if it helps. I didn't tell him that it's not generally the kind of thing that others enjoy listening to you work out over the phone.

Or studying French? I was counting my text messages in French in reverse as I deleted them today.
