I like had an inner meltdown today, and blanked out thanks to a coworker. He left me to do most of the work, let things slide and then things f**ed up, he left me to clean up the mess, and at the end of the day, he said "things are easy now that I'm here". What?!?!

:x :x :x

I know, sometimes people can be lazy. that is usually why they are pretentious in the first place, they know in their hearts they're not as smart as they think they are and think absent minded arrogance makes them appear smart. :lol:

I dont know. I had a meltdown today at work too, and my mind became extremely blank. A lot of it has to do with nerves in front of others; today I had to present something in front of a few others and I screwed the entire thing up. If you're talented and can do things in front of people, I'm a bit jealous. I'm not jealous that your coworker is using you, however.

It can be pretty nerve-wracking to give a presentation. I am glad that I am able to avoid it at work.

I just go off on my own tangent and avoid eye contact or all association with others when working. It can be very ineffective, and annoy NTs, so I would not recommend it.
