Imagine you’re only just meeting me for the first time. We’ve already breezed through the typical questions but we’re aware that we’re steadily running out of things to say.
There’s a lull. The conversation then turns, as it often does, to the subject of hobbies. You ask me about mine. I do the polite thing and ask you about yours in turn.
There’s a silence. And then a shrug. And then a I don’t think I have one, to be honest… I just don’t have the time.
