Do you think my boss is bipolar?

(I work at a science laboratory)

-His mood definitely dictates his attitude on work. When he’s happy, he’ll sign off any form without really reading it. When he’s frustrated or mad, he’ll scrutinize everything to the nth degree, often going into tangents like why is there dirt on the floor or why is that machine making an odd noise, etc. In short, when he’s content he’s blind and when he’s frustrated or otherwise unsatisfied he locks onto every detail.

-Nothing ever gets done. He always has 35325325 ideas and even after all this research and work he is never satisfied with it and the work gets forgotten over the years and is never finalized. He tends to lose a lot of important documents.

-Randomly, if it’s a sunny day, he’ll leave work to go bike riding. I haven’t had a real job before so I don’t know if it’s normal for a boss/CEO type to do that sort of thing during work hours. I understand that he owns the company but sometimes he does it while we’re in the middle of something and I’m kind of wandering around trying to find him to report back to him.

-He seems to have a really, REALLY poor sense of time. For example, he knows a certain procedure regularly takes a couple hours. But within 30 minutes he asks if it’s done. Or, conversely, you can trick him into thinking something is done when it should have taken much longer.

-Very short memory. He tells you directions and then when you report back to him he doesn’t remember what he told you

-Constantly criticizes other people for traits that he himself has (I don’t know – that could just be plain hypocrisy)

-Lastly, might just be my opinion, but his sense of reality seems warped. He labeled Europeans as backwards compared to Americans. Not just in science but practically everything else in life. Sometimes he says seemingly outrageous things, or things that just make me raise a brow. It could just be some bits of racism and (sometimes) sexism.
