I've been a 911 dispatcher for far longer than I can remember at this point and even though people think "Oh wow! That must be a cool job!" it really isn't. It's a stressful, frustrating, drive-you-nuts job which means one definitely needs a hobby if one wishes to maintain sanity. My hobby is blogging and taking pictures for my blog and traveling to as many interesting historic places as time and money will allow ... which means I stay home a lot! When I do go places, though, I like to share them through posts and pictures along with bits and pieces of other parts of my life.
