The Daily Grind: Do you share what you love?

Let's say you had a busy weekend in Final Fantasy XI. After a couple months of practice, your Dynamis group finally managed to down the Dynamis Lord, and you're understandably pretty pumped about that. Especially since you're also getting close to having another job at 75, which has taken you a while because you kept dying while running low-level shellmates through quests.

When you go into work on Monday morning and someone asks you what you did, do you shuffle and stare at your feet while mumbling that it wasn't anything special? Or do they get to hear at least a brief description of what you accomplished?

It's certainly a lot cooler than it used to be to enjoy video games, but some of us can still be reluctant to talk even briefly about our MMO hobbies with others. Sometimes we're afraid of embarassing ourselves, other times we just don't want to bother explaining, and at still other times we just don't think it's worth the effort. Where do you fall on the spectrum? Do your co-workers know that you enjoy frequent sharkish behavior in EVE Online, or do they think you spend most of your weekends and evenings in a catatonic state?
