A question that has come up during a few of my phone interviews has given me pause.
What do you do for fun when you aren't in the lab?
When I was first asked this, the following went through my head:
1. HAHAHAHA....when am I not in the lab?
2. Wait...is this a trick question?
3. Crap. I can't tell them drinking, boys, or blogging. What can I tell them? Crap-crap-crap.
The big problem is that I really don't want to reveal a lot of personal details, like my single status or religion. Any suggestions on what I should (or should not) say? I know the search committees are just trying to get a sense of if I'm looking for certain hobbies in the area or if I'm well-rounded....but seriously...I don't have a lot of free time, and what I do have to myself I fill with blogging, tving, or boozing. Suggestions?
