Consider the dialogue below:

Anna: Hey, John, did you hear about the new project we are supposed to start next week?

John: Yes, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for it. I haven't even finished the current one.

Anna: Oh, I understand. I also feel overwhelmed. But did you talk to Mark about it?

John: Not yet. I know he is very busy, and I don't want to bother him.

Anna: I get it, but maybe if you explain your situation, he could give you more time.

John: Maybe you're right. I guess I'll give it a try. Thanks,

Anna. Anna: No worries! Good luck!

Based on the dialogue, what can we infer about John?
