Had a few doses of this - longest 5 months. Really starts to dig in after 2 months or so, hard to enjoy the time out if not by choice, days do tend to run away from you as you get up late, have one thing to do and still seem to struggle to fit it in !
You do start to question yourself, wonder if something will turn up.
BUT - you have to stay ready to react when a call comes in, it can happen very quickly and I am always switched on for the next interview - current run is 7 interviews, 7 offers, it's getting the interviews that holds me back !!
I don't value myself based on what I earned last month even if I judged myself against peers it would be over a timescale of years. Warchest and investments can cover years if needed, I just need to keep busy to top it up and I find it hard to appreciate the time off if I don't have work as a contrast.
Clearly institutionalised as worker drone....
