Maybe it is just my org. I feel like so many salespeople, especially guys in the industry, seem to have somewhat similar hobbies that include:
- Golfing on weekends
- Drinking as much beer as possible while they watch some sporting event (usually baseball, football, or basketball)
- Talking about baseball, football, or basketball 24/7 as well as whatever some ESPN commentator said
It's like most sales guys I know are always trying to hype up how well they golf and somehow play up the "I am a mature and responsible alcoholic who is past his wild days" act. I can't seem to relate too well to it.
Meanwhile, my hobbies include doing MMA, going out to a cool nightclub with a friend on some weekends, Formula 1, photography, and going to a comedy show or two in town.
Somehow, I feel like if my coworkers knew how my life is different than theirs, I'd be the odd one out. Anyone else sort of feel this way?
