>"Gardening leave"....dontcha love the innocuous sound of that one.

I like it much better than the 'personal reasons' or the 'to spend time with his family' boilerplate reasons. I'm going on tango leave. I'm going to go on leave and just hang out and drink some.

I gotta hand it to him, it's definitely more original than the "spend time with the family" reason that they always give. I guess it sounds better than, "I gotta take leave to do some job-hunting."
