I've been mega-busy with work for the last 2 months and I fecking hate it.
Never really been between jobs at all.
Left school and had a job before starting uni. When I was at uni I had a job during the Christmas and Summer holidays.
Was out of work for maybe 2 months between graduating and starting my first job. Was there a few years and then finished there on the Friday and started here on the Monday. Been here nearly 20 years now.

I've pretty much always worked, got a job within months of leaving school at 16 and worked pretty much since, 'cept when super sick, like, with operations and shit.
Even when I was about 10 I worked in my Dad's shops on a saturday 'cus paying me is cheaper than a babysitter; plus, I enjoyed it.
I tried like 3 times to claim sick-pay, but I always ended up giving up 'cus the system is too complicated for me.

Jobless: 8 or 9 weeks - after getting the heave-ho as a consultant as I didn't want to take contracts in Liverpool or Glasgow, I sat about for a month revelling in the not-work-ness. Then it took me about a month to find a new job after that.
