Why are we academic types so boring? And I am not talking of in-class boring or droning on.. just regular boring.
Many of us don't have hobbies. We rarely socialise. We only travel to go to conferences- if our institution funds them.
We don't have a favourite author. If we do, we rarely talk about that author.
If we write, it's a research paper, most of the time.
We are not big on social media-though that is changing.
We rarely have an interesting perspective to share on anything other than the routine office politics, or the weather, or our commute.
Is there a cure for being boring? No idea, I am too bored to find out.
