What's your special interest/escape from the quagmire.

I'm stressed, it's end of term, and I've got so many job applications on my desk I can't breathe. So, I'm looking for a distraction as I repeat the silly mantra: Work does not exist. Work is a lie. The only thing matters is BatmanBatmanBatmanBatman—

My special interests are: animals, Batman, and dinosaurs. Can you get any more cliché? However unfortunate, I'm a firm believer in special interests pick you, you don't pick them, and I've truly been picked by every stereotype.

What are your special interests? Let me know so I can hide from responsibilities.

  • You have a way with words and I can’t help but be complicit in your avoidance tactics.

    Researching Neolithic and Iron Age archaeology in the Levant. Taking my dog to a quiet place and going for a walk. Stopping everything just to look at nature. Reading: Factual during the day e.g., archaeology, anthropology, religion, history, non coercive canine cognition and behaviour management, and fiction in the dark on my kindle before going to sleep.

    Thank you, new accomplice! Very ind of you.

    Dog walking and historical eras are always a fantastic escape—I'm currently diving into mesozoic fauna, so all of those are right up my alley.
