Boy am I glad I don't work at Wells any more. The guy next to me, who was a dick at the best of times, was one of those people who ten years after they finish college still define themselves by it.
In a department of 200 people he was the only one where I knew their college. And when he found out I went to a different Pac-10 school everything immediately became a competition. I didn't care about college sports when I was in college (it helped that Washington won their football co-championship the year before I got there and then spent my term embroiled in a violations controversy), I certainly don't care about them now, and didn't really think losing or winning business requirement battles with him would somehow reflect upon an inter-conference rivalry.
I imagine he is pretty insufferable right about now.
