If you have follow on lined up you should absolutely hide. Don't come in to the office. If you are in the South Stevie is going to task you with something awful like checking SKUs at Sams Club.

Just don't reach out. You'll get at least a free day or two before they realize

I had a two week break earlier and spent a lot of it taking pictures of fucking cheese skus at 4 retailers then entering them in a spreadsheet. I'd say network to find some sort of proposal with a person you like rather than have to do that.

I'm in a similar boat: wanted to chill but was getting pinged for less than desirable projects like crazy. Finally had to engage follow on PL and partner as cover for staffing. Doing proposals now, but from home, which is nice.
