That's why I never let anyone at work know what my interests are, what I like to do, etc.
Only my boss knows that I like soccer, and he's gone most of the time

that's damn near impossible. what do you talk about with coworkers? don't they ever ask?

you're not close to anyone at work?
I'm friendly and get along with everyone, but I'm a completely different person at work than I am in regular life

It's not that I don't talk about those things, it's just that what I tell them is mostly BS to make myself look nerdy and career oriented
For example,
Senior Coworker: Do you like going barhopping and clubbing a lot?
Me: Not really, I only go out to bars and clubs when I get dragged by friends on their birthdays or something. Otherwise I have too much work/studying to do
This way I can call in sick/say I have a doctor's appointment on a Friday when I'm actually flying to Vegas without anyone getting suspicious. Saves me from using my PTO

I've stayed along these lines too.
Boss never questioned why I always had Doctor/Dentist visits at 2:45 on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons.
He knows about my travels to follow the USMNT, plus the rest of my department has gotten into the WC, so calling in would have been too obvious. Convinced him that I'd be too excited/nervous/depressed to work at any point tomorrow, so he granted the PTO despite us being in a "blackout" for that right now.
Pretty sure the rest of the department has convinced him to allow a 2 hour lunch. Pushover.

guinness with angry orchard ain't bad. never tried mixing with blue moon though.
