Is It Still Holidays?

Does it still class as being on holidays when you simply don't have a job? I'm figuring that as of tomorrow I need to start calling myself an unemployed bum.
See, during school holidays I feel completely justified in claiming that I'm on holidays. I'm just on holidays from a non-existent job. I can't work when the schools are closed right? So, by default, I must be on holidays. It is flawless logic.
Short of one of those flukey calls from the department at 8:30 tomorrow morning miraculously offering me the perfect job, I think I may be waiting a few weeks for some relief gigs (come-oooooonn second wave of swine flu). On the plus side, I'm sure my joblessness makes me a prime candidate for a Today Tonight exposé. Finally, my dreams will be fulfilled!
