[ST] Does your employer know you ride?

["George Cope" <gcope@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So there I am at the third interview for a great new job and I am asked by
one of the nine interviewers "What do you like to do in your spare time?"

I always thought I should keep my passion for motorcycling out of my
professional life, at least until I am settled into the job.  So I start to
answer his question, talking about my busy family life and other BS.  He
rejects my answer and says "No, what do you like to do, what fills your
days?"

Now I have to decide if I am going to be honest.  So, I reluctantly confide
that I love motorcycling. Another interviewer smiles and says "What KIND of
motorcycle?"

It turns out that he has a 1969 Triumph and the other interviewers thought
my hobby was kind of cool.

And I got the job!
