I recently left my corporate job and now I work from home with my own company (3 people in 3 cities in 2 states). It's so much more flexible. I don't see myself taking a year off or anything, but I could take a few months off as long as I had internet access and could work on my projects part time. With a laptop and the internet I could go cycle through France, for instance, for a few months. Perhaps I will do just that!

Of course, I'm very connected to my work. It means alot to me, what I do. But if I had a job that I didn't care about (like the position that I left), I wouldn't want to take that work with me.
