I think he was joking, but....dunno...fitting in personality-wise is also important. People around me don't have to like my hobbies, and I don't have to like theirs. How they handle the difference of opinion is important, in hobbies and work. As long as they can enjoy a good laugh and not take life too damn serious we're good.
Work hard, know how to find solutions, laugh hard. My last $0.02 here..

I didn't even want to have future employers see my personal blog site in case they had a political, social or religious stigma against something I may have blogged about. Sometimes hobbies can help, sometimes not. What if the hiring manager hates your hobbie? had a former employee who always left early on Friday's and wasn't available for on-call because of kayaking..
