My PI mentioned something to me today (about my pippetman preferences) that we talked about, once, the first day (or around that time) I joined the lab and hasn't mentioned since. Given that the conversation that started this was a sort of throw-away type of exchange from early-mid May of last year, now I live in paranoia that everything I've ever said in front of him will come back to haunt me later. Anna's linked me to this comic from OpenWetWare. After much debate, my labmates and I have decided that our PI is a hybrid... between "Control Freak" and "Science Wonk".
He is awesome, but he is also rather freakish.
Well, good luck to the recruits tomorrow.
Also: Anna? Trust me when I say that after all of this is over, in the future seeing other recruits getting interviewed will only inspire vague feelings of nostalgia. Your time will come, grasshopper.

Oh, I hope so. My time will come :)
Glad you got a kick out of the comic. Your PI does sound rather freakish! "Control Freak - Science Wonk Hybrid" doesn't sound too pleasant! D:
I have yet to figure out which category my current PI falls into (though it probably does somehow involve "Science Wonk"). I need more data. My old PI easily fits the demigod label, seeing as how she would only show up to lab once a week (for lab meeting!).
