Finshed a 3-year contract and am taking 2-3 months off. I had very little time off when working so it's time to recharge my batteries and catch up on reading, do some exams, and generally loaf about.

I really don't. On those rare occasions when I feel like getting back to it I just watch a couple of episodes of the office to remind me! The episode where Brent takes them down the pub is pretty accurate as well, it's not something I miss!Originally posted by bobsmithldnhmm, detect slight resentment in that statement - I bet you wish you were working and down the pub at lunchtimes ...Comment

I managed to catch the tale end of the days when virtually everybody in the office had a few lunchtime and post work pints. It was actually quite a good laugh in a couple of places I worked with drunken stories, office affairs and the like to gossip about. I blame Maggie Thatcher !Originally posted by shoesI really don't.
