It sounds more like she's in a lame job where the technical staff has no interests outside of tech. I sympathize with that. When hiring, I search out well rounded individuals. It is a little easier at my company because we're a restaurant-focused startup, but still... the number of engineers I've met with no hobbies or even interests outside of tech seems to outnumber the ones who do. It sounds more like the poster should find another job. Maybe go work in tech at a company that actually works in one of her other interests.
