To my fortune, when I signed off, I found plenty of work to do. I've currently got December booked out with work, but can assure you that signing on made me pschologically ill.
Although half that time I managed part time self-employment.
Sometimes I go into a short-circuit when people start dishing out theories about unemployed being work-shy or sitting in pubs.

No offence meant of-course.
