i recently took some time off work to focus on living. if you can swing it i highly recommend taking a sabbatical. it's added considerable value to my life.

just wanted to share some stoke

i put together a photo album of 1000 pictures from my sabbatical; they're a reminder to me to retire early an often.

very cool - thanks for sharing.

how much time off did you take? some pictures are reminiscent of my last sabbatical where we toured Europe for 2.5 weeks, which doesn't sound like a lot but we went to like 6 countries and 12+ different cities.

Nice work with the 6d dude. Hella jelly.

 

[modbog]

thanks guys. my sabbatical started in June and lasted for about nine months (went back to work this past Monday)

already looking forward to the next one!

 

[Acadian]

where do I apply to get 9 months sabbaticals?

 

[modbog]

3 months on, 9 months off would be a good rotation. btw, i always have an open req for good software engineers

Big fan of Black Sabbatical! "Generals gather in their masses (didlanaw) just like witches at black masses....Oh , lord yeah!"

Focusing on life is a good thing. I don't get a sabbatical unless I quit my job. Therefore, I just work as little as possible.

I wondered where all that creativity was coming from! Way to live frikkin large.

I've checked out from the rat race several times. I'll have to remember to call the next one a sabbatical!

"You only get one retirement. If you don't practice it, you might just do it wrong!"

Nice and inspiring. I have to take one again soon! I love to travel and live life to the fullest.

Seems the bike industry does not believe in sabbaticals, perhaps because every day is a vacation!

My personal philosophy goes a bit farther; retire before your parents do.
I am hoping to be done with this "working" thing by 40.

Good on you for making time to enjoy the finer things in life. I retired from 18-35, so now I have to work until I'm 65.

Thats one way to do it. I retired from 18 to 26. Way to squeeze another 10 years out of it!

I, on the other hand, have been working for EDD since September of last year. However, I start working again on the 7th of April. I’m going to miss my freedom.

Sabbaticals are excellent, particularly for putting things in perspective and really having a great chance to think.


Commiserations(?) on returning to work.... remember there's a flow trail needs building if you get bored of working for a living!
