It is Thursday the 14th of October 2021 and you're listening to Skeptics with a K

the podcast for science reason and critical thinking. Skeptics with a K is a production of the Merseys Skeptic Society, a non-profit

organization for the promotion of scientific skepticism on Mercy Side around the UK and internationally.

I am your host, Mike Hall.

With me today is Marsh.

Hello.

And Alice. Hello. So what I've done is I've booked a day off

work right I say your first one to go this is the first well I've wondered this I

wondered if this is an autistic thing or if it's just a mic is a belling

thing because I I very is an autistic thing or if it's just a mic is a bellend thing.

Could be both.

Because I very rarely take time off work and I think a lot of that is because I get into a routine

of I get up and I go to work and then I finish and then I get up and I go to work and then I finish and taking a holiday is a disruption

to that routine so it's something I avoid could just as easily be Mike Isabella and

as it is anything else. Has that always been the case though because obviously the last like five or six

or so years you were working in a job that was intense on your time and so I can imagine

you weren't taking time off there but like 10 years ago would you take time off work?

No I think I have

once in my professional life taking my full holiday allocation and that was like 2003. Oh yeah 2003.

2004. Sorry not not 2003 which was because I organized two Doctor Who conventions in one year

and so needed the time off.

So yeah, I've booked some time off work and I went to the National Video Game Museum.
