I'm off for the next couple of weeks,I'd be off forever given the choice....
Do you find work a bind,or do you need the structure and discipline it provides? Wages notwithstanding!
Never understood these lottery winners who keep working myself?

Working for my self, so I really enjoy working.
Sometimes I get a bit bored of some of my clients, but running your own business is so much more.
there's nothing worse than being off with fuck all to do.
and day time telly is the pits. and sky sports news just loops its stories for the whole day. fuck that!!
Time off, defo.
Working is such a bind.
I know people here who even come in when they're genuinely on their death-bed cos they get 'bored' at home. There's something seriously amiss in your life if you haven't got the imagination to entertain yourself outside of the office.
On days like today, work is fine - 3 lessons in the morning and the rest of the day free, can potter about and get little jobs done... The probably shoot off and watch a bit of the cricket... Other days when I have a full day and meetings it's like the job is taking over everything else in my life... That said, I can usually find enough to keep me busy at home...

A little of both for me .... Like structure but also like time off to do things you have no time for !:)

Agreed.
I plan to retire at 50,if I make 50!
I am prepared to offer Tony Blair and Gorden Brown out, if they start coming the cunt with pension schemes at our place, like they have with alot of big firms....Bang out of Order this pension revise they are trying to pull!
I haven't had any significant time off more than an incidential sick day here or there (and one off bank holidays) since Christmas 2004. And that was only because I was working for county government at the time and they closed between xmas and new years...
WORKaholic
That's why I'm looking forward to going to Liverpool.
Time off without a doubt.
Although usually if i book time off, it is so i can do something else, days out, visiting friends or DIY/decorating on my house. I would never book a holiday and just sit round the house.

I voted work....cos I've done as much sitting on my hole as any man can deal with outside a Beiruit cellar.

...once you'd got the OBVIOUS out of the way, I assume!
I'm the same as Rian - working for yourself is so much more interesting than being employed, its far more difficult & timeconsuming too, but you don't have to ask anyone else if you want time off! So now I work part-time(kind of) & get to see my family more than I could in any other job. Its all good:D
i've got the next two months off (yessss!) and i'm making good use of it. however, i prefer work to time off as i don't have the $$$$ to travel, which is the only thing i'd really want to do if i had nothing but free time (and which is what i'm doing this summer break).

Does THOMAS live in a TRAIN SHED?
Yes, Thomas does live in a train shed.
But your not allowed to call the Fat Controller,the Fat Controller anymore Nothing to do with political correctness...More to do with kids that have a stutter saying "Thefatcunt,Thefatcunt,Thefatcunt,The fat controller" to the shocked mams
Time off so I can work on my own projects.. does that count?
I've never seem so bored of work as of recently.. don't know why, I barely even work on NOOL itself, I think I'm really due to a real "time-off", and this is in less than 3 weeks! ;) 2 full weeks in the caribbeans should do the trick.
Ahh, more leisure time:D
You can't whack it
Redcar Races today,to put the hurt on the bookies..
Best take me biggest satchel
Shame the beer is piss....Still,it knocks the bollox off working for a living:D
