the mood of coworkers does have an effect, you spend 40hrs a week with them or more.

Yeah, I've noticed my moods can influence the people around me. I'm so used to being weird that it never occurred to me that it could be normal for the NTs too.

I find being energetic around my peers makes them more energetic and more open to doing active things outside. I also find that if i'm having a bad day at work, it poisons the people around me and they get all snippy w/ me x.x
