The Socialist Workers Party's newspaper proved to be a tough sell to downtown businessmen.

I will admit that about 10% of the issue is that we have some similar characteristics - if you stand up and yell at me that I'm a loving lazy bitch I'm going to continue to escalate the conflict, and he is the same in this; this time I wanted to make sure that this went away and I behaved appropriately so I was polite through-and-through. Another 10% of my anger, and all 20% of this I fully admit is "my poo poo" is that he comes 2 hrs late, goes to sleep, and leaves me to do his job as well. This is normally fine but sometimes, since he's been here longer than me, I don't know where something was set up 5 years ago before I worked there and he is the only one that would, since he has been there longer.

Are you sure the first sentence of this is true? From your story, if someone repeatedly calls you a bitch, your response seems to be to become paralyzed with fear to the point where you explain the situation in detail to your boss but then ask them to take no action for fear of your "friend"'s further retaliation. I'm also not sure how you arrived at the statement that part of "[your] poo poo" is his coming to work late, sleeping on the job, and making you do his work for him. Those are all things that he is doing, not you, and the last of those things is something which should not be accepted in a professional environment. (Some people might say none of those behaviors are acceptable in a professional environment, even!)

You need to understand that this person is not your friend - maybe he was once, at some point, but now he's abusing the company in general and abusing you in particular.
