I always do it. I like to take time off after a contract and I don't like being pestered by agent while I'm on holiday.
I find work within a week or two (which I suspect means that my rate is too low - must sort that out next time...)"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I've done this for the last couple of summers.
I timed it perfectly last year, though I mistimed it this year and had a couple of wet & windy weeks off before the new contract kicked in.
Where I live, unless it's summer I'd rather be working.......Comment

I have in the past not taken renewals and had some time off, this time however no renewal as it was an interim gig for someone on maternity.Comment
