Feeling weird about not having a job to go to?.....you guys are nuts! Especially if another job is waiting right around the corner. For many years I worked only contract jobs and would usually take the entire summer off. The current economy dictates that I now have to work as a direct employee and I sorely miss those extended periods of time off. If properly budgeted for, a few months away from work is pure heaven and incredibly relaxing. Although I enjoy what I do, I don't define myself by it and never lament not being at work. In fact, I would get so involved in projects, travel and just enjoying life that I wondered how I ever got anything done when working 40 hours a week.

Remember....you'll never see the words, "I Wish I'd Spent More Time at the Office" on anybodys tombstone.
