Going with my (cheat I know) second positive - it absolutely gave me a boost. I did partially answer this in the original post (sorry for pre-empting you Susan!).
We finally got the Thesis submitted yesterday and it has been a very intense 48 hours but the moment where I took control, got him chatting on IM so we could discuss the issues in real time and delivered the line "Yes, I understand you are tired, stressed by the software and probably haven't eaten in a couple of days, but you are not doing this on your own now - I will help you and we will solve the problems together" I could hear the relief across the miles ...
I have probably gained a friend, he has certainly gained skills (both Word and team working) but most of all I felt competent and that always makes me feel good and positive about everything else.
Hope everyone else's positives have helped them too - great Sound Off! Susan, thanks.
Cathy
