    As in holiday or as in learning something about the tools you need for the next gig which you added to your CV and know nothing about.? Had a couple like that in the past.
    I did take a holiday in the first month but the last 6 weeks I've basically wasted due to being lazy. Watched way too much daytime TV and spent way too long on my laptop pretending to be looking for work but really playing scrabble all day.

    Still I am totally chilled after such a long time doing nothing.
