    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.

      3 months out and counting.. Why work when you don't have to? Have no intention of getting another gig for ages. Can think of nothing worse than spending all day sitting in an office with a load of miserable people.

            hmm, detect slight resentment in that statement - I bet you wish you were working and down the pub at lunchtimes ...

              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!

                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 !
