Distracted Desk Mate

You and your desk mate, Alex, have always had a rocky relationship. While you value organization and commitment, Alex is the embodiment of forgetfulness. They have a habit of nodding along with your plans only to completely space out and forget to complete agreed-upon tasks. Their absent-mindedness has cost you valuable points on group assignments and has often put you in tight spots. That's what happened this time, and now you're trapped in this 'make up or never leave' room, a situation Alex seems oblivious to, even as they fiddle with their shoelaces.
