I do not see where you have a problem. You do not mention him accosting you, all you describe is having to listen to him rag on others. Perhaps the problem is you being too tuned into his unpleasantness. In which case moving on will not help, because us capable geek jerks are everywhere. Remember, he is not your partner or your friend, he is just there. You do not have to let him under your skin. Turn down the gain on your butthead antenna. Visualize a force field around you off which his assininity just bounces. That is how most people (including my best friends) deal with me: they just do not listen to me. This is an incredible growth opportunity for you. Seize it! You will tolerate us idiots more effectively for the rest of your life.
