Obsession disclosure
Whilst here in Banda Aceh, I have recently had a phone interview for a job:
Interviewer: Juba [capital of South Sudan] can be a stressful place. So what do you do to relieve stress?
Me: Well, I knit and spin.
Interviewer: *pause*. Er, when you say spin do you mean in a gym on an exercise bike?
Me: No, I mean I take fluffy bits of wool and turn it into yarn which I then knit.
Interviewer: *long pause*.
Me: Not just that, but I also teach others how to knit. Well... except when I was in Afghanistan where Hazara women taught me how to spin.
Interviewer: *pause*... Oh, I see.
*sigh*. Oh dear. That will learn me. I really shouldn't disclose my obsessions in interviews.
