For future reference and use - it isn’t eske, it is esque.
eske has something to do with keeping beer in a cold box, I think.
esque is far more refined.
There is a definition in the online dictionary but I don’t know how to put the link onto this post…

But you don’t tell them that your time at home is divided into:
50% sleep/dozing
3% Muscle Cramps and ‘owww….Zoe my leg hurts!’
2.5% Making or fetching coffee
23.5% Internet searching (i.e. fixed gear, sexyloops, photography….etc)
1% dumping from great heights
10% Eating or thinking about food
5% Thinking ‘maybe I should do some work…..er….. when Oprah finishes. Yeah…then.’

and

5% Actually working.

But that 5% of working time is probably more than other PhD students do in their day at uni.

(note: Those with an educated eye will recognise that this post itself is way for me to minimise my percentage work time. Well… be fair. I am waiting around for the LAGO (Late Afternoon Glassy Offshore), new swell on the way. Ow that hurts Tommy. Don’t worry, I’ll pull in extra deep for you.)
