My job had an employee who I'll call E who left a couple years before I got there. He had a reputation for slacking off, but he was the only employee who spoke fluent Spanish, so Spanish-speaking customers would rather talk to him than any other employee. Because of this, his sales numbers were high and the sales numbers of employees who worked the same shift as him went down.

My boss invited him back to work the Christmas rush, and it became apparent that he and I had a lot of little habits that got on each other's nerves. He hated how I apologized all the time, I hated how he asked rhetorical questions all the time, that sort of thing.

After one shift, I asked my boss if E would come back after Christmas, and he said E might come back for other holidays. I said that I could be professional and work with E, but I would prefer to avoid being scheduled with him if possible.

E is now back as a full-time employee. He's scheduled for several days each week, and I'm only scheduled for one day when he's not in. My boss's boss likes him, so he's on track to become assistant manager.

I reiterated to my boss that I could work with E, and I told him that I would like to work more hours if possible. I'n not sure yet how this will play out. Did I fuck up?

Maybe a little bit. You couldn't have known E would come back as a full time employee, but honestly, unless your co-worker problems are severe, it's usually best to try and resolve it between you or grin and bear it rather than taking it to your boss. Most bosses aren't willing or able to deal with issues like this (even though it's part of their job) and they'll likely take the easy way out of doing nothing... or brushing off the employee they like/value least. In this case, that appears to be you, and since you brought it up, you end up labeled the troublemaker. :(
