A few years ago I finished a one year demanding contract position I was paid well for. I decided to take some time off, bought a sportbike, and spent a year riding with motorcycle instructors on twisty mountain roads, spending a good 10 hours a day in the saddle, only not riding when my wife had the day off. When I finally got saddle sore, but much better off mentally, I began looking for a new job, and the first interviewer was shocked, shocked I tell you, that I would "just fuck off for a year". Glad I didn't get that gig I think. The next one hired me and put me to work the same day I interviewed.
