It has already happened... I am my supervisor's least favourite PhD student. I was at coffee today when the other new PhD student came over to me. He asked how my meeting had gone with our supervisor. I told him I'd done the mandatory 5 hour wait for a slot, then sat on a bench outside his office with him while he chastised me for not using notation properly. Conclusion: I thought it had gone OK.
He seemed oddly surprised by this. So I asked him how his meeting had gone...
"Oh well, we went to lunch together and had a nice talk."
Oh. Clearly I am the crap one. I wish that I hadn't been told this vital piece of information. I liked it better when I thought we all had to wait and fight for our supervisor's time..
