He said that I came off as intelligent and that it seemed like I was constantly in my head thinking about something. It's always nice to hear that people can actually see this.
haha... it is refreshing. an SLE coworker actually told me something similar the other day, not without calling me a "spacecake." I just said that space was fun. but absent-mindedness isn't an absolute for me. if there's a task that requires alertness and fast movement, my mental world will contract and things become pretty easy.
