I get the impression that you take a lot of pride in your work and getting your work done before the next person takes over. That’s to be commended. However, there will be times when it’s just not possible such as exceptionally busy periods when you’re pulled to help the line.

But that should work both ways. He should get some extra help when he needs it too. I've been there and done that on several jobs. I had mail duty for about a year, the grungiest job in our office. I would get pulled to help this team or that team meet a deadline. I get back to my spot and my work is double or triple. The people I helped out are now in the break room, celebrating "their" victory.
