Girl, I understand your situation and completely understand your dislike for this person. *Sounds like a winner, lol.* And that this person is not likeable at all....
I just think it sucks b/c its dealing with work - which for the most part you have to put up with - b/c its work. In our dream world fortune 500 companies and all the Trump's of the world would replace this guy for a guy you love. But... alas, its work - and the Trump's don't care.
Honestly, try focusing on improving your personal job performance. If he sucks so bad, you can't perform your job under documented accounts.... then you need to be like "look...boss man...". But sadly, if he isn't...its one of those smiling situations b/c you have too. B/c if you don't - it looks like its your fault and that you are the one causing the problems.
Once again, the sad factor is that you and your co-worker hate this guy. But it doesn't mean its okay to give him that attitude that you want too. B/c what's worse is having your boss's boss fire you b/c who do you think he's doing to listen to more? No offense.
I was in a similar experience in retail, and I just sucked it up. But it got better, and b/c I got respect b/c of that. And my record has my boss quoting that.
Good luck...
PS. - Watch "a league of their own" with gena davis. remember how mean tom hanks was? one girl started crying - "there's no crying in baseball. There's no crying in baseball!!!" But the girls kept at it...
