You're lucky.
I'd love to have 6 weeks off... problem is, I wouldn't want to go back!

This is the problem
I know that after half an hour I'll feel ready for another 6 week off.

I know I want another week off... fat chance though.

From what I've heard
teachers still have to do some work during the school-holidays - mostly, it's just preparing lessons.

Quite
and we tend to spend some of the weekend doing it too.

If fact I have to say that
the only thing I miss about other jobs I have done is that I can't switch off.
Every evening and all the weekend I am thinking about or doing work.

Have you ever worked a 9-5 office-job?
I can switch off, but only for short periods of time, and then it's back to work.

I have done a 9 - 5 office job
and I switched off at 5 and not back on until 9 the next morning.

Sounds about right to me
but at least my job is stimulating.
