It's not important whether you hate each other, the important thing is, can you still work together?
If you are both professional about it, and act like adults instead of school kids, then your working relationship need not suffer.
Whenever I have colleagues fighting, I say the same thing: You don't have to like each other, but you do have to work with each other. Can you be mature enough to do that?
If they can't, or you can't, then I suggest you leave now rather than living a life of misery for the next few months.

I have argued with my boss many times. Unfortunately of late things have escalated to become somewhat terminal for one of us - probably me. Unlike you I can be fired but there is presently no legitimate reason so it's more an exercize in pushing me out by attempting to isolate me, put me under pressure, make office-life generally as unpleasant as possible, etc.
I'm looking for another job but, whatever the consequences, I will not back down since I believe I'm making a principled stand. At the end of the day I'm the only person I really have to be able to live with.
I don't hate my boss (if it's truly that extreme then you are allowing someone else to consume a huge amount of your emotional energy) but if I was in your situation (and in a way I am until I leave) and there was no alternative but to work together then I'd concentrate on my part of the job, do it as well as I could, and, while not aggravating matters, stand my ground if conflict is visited upon me.

Sounds like you just need to agree to disagree. Arguing will just be fighting an uphill battle, and he is the commanding general. You're fortunate he can't fire you, but you were hired for a reason. Whatever your skill or service, you must be pretty darn good at it. All you can do is keep plugging away at the job. As with any line of work, you're both ultimately working toward the same goal. Focus on that. Good Luck. And start working on your resume.

I would make sure that I won the arguement. That's a sticky situation man. Best of luck with it. If there is any way that you can go above his head if he's done something seriously wrong, by all means do it. If not, suck it up and stick with it until June 2007

Depends on the subject and besides if you hate each other you will never agree on anything you need to try your best to be professional as possible no matter the circumstances.I don't get along too well with my boss either but I try to become the change i want to see even if they are not trying to give me the time of day.

The question should be "What Can you do if you argued with your boss?"
They will sit there, cowardly behind closed doors and talk about you and try to think up ways to get rid of somone.
The answer is go postal. Other than that, there really are no options.

Arguement normally takes place when two persons differ on particular point. Both want to establish their point is correct. If the arguement helps for the welfare of the institution, let it be continued. If it is otherwise, better to stop it.Better relationship between the boss and his assistant is quite essential to create a healthy atmosphere in the office.

Don't argue. Avoid arguments like you avoid rattlesnakes and Gila monsters Read the book "How to Win Friends and influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

You can leave your job or he can fire you. The choice is there it may not be a choice you like or consequences you like but there is ALWAYS a choice. Now you just have to figure out whats worse staying and dealing or going and dealing.
