@XanIndigo I absolutely covered up a few months I took off between jobs with some “freelance” noise 😆 it’s the assumptions that it must have been something nefarious that I could be arsed with.

Mind you when an old boss of mine interviewed someone with a large gap the guy admitted he was in prison. Boss asked why (not sure that was really on 🙄). Guy said “you wouldn’t hire me if I told you”. Guy was not hired. Turned out to be a convicted child molester 😳
