Stupid CoWorkers

I work with a fellow, “Paul” who basks and bellows in his ego and self righteousness all day long. He parades around our office as a know it all letting everyone know that he’s got the connections at the top,he knows all the right file formats and processes for setting up and converting complex drafting/ geomatics files. A few quick questions to him and I was told that he was too busy, the process that I was asking for was too complex, or that what I was doing was over my head and I should leave it to the “qualified personelle”, namely himself.
