4 months in 1999.
Burnt out in a job I held for 4 years (10 years military before that), one night I watched a movie called "Return to Paradise", gave me an idea.....Next day, I went to see a travel agent and bought 7 plane tickets to different countries, went to work and told my boss I needed emergency vacation (had no plan to return to work), packed my bags and off I went. 1 month later, I called into work with intent to give my official resignation but got told I was getting laid off and had me provide a mailing address overseas to send my severance pay. 4 months later, I came back and landed a job right away and have been working since. But I did work as a Door Man at a Gentleman's Club (see the "Black Rain" movie to get an idea of kind of club) in Ropponggi, Tokyo to make some money during my 4 month hiatus. Good old days...
