Work Ethic

I recently had a phone interview, and one question "so what have you been doing since your last job?"  Trying to not say "enjoying spending time on myself, with friends and family, and relaxing" I had some lengthy but amazing answer about how I was focusing on the job search.  But the thing is, I have realized that while I am a hard worker once I'm in a job, I lack that work ethic that makes me feel like I need to work or die.

Don't get me wrong, I really do work hard at my jobs, and it's not that I hate going to work or hate working... I just hate doing work that I... well hate.  Some people, like my dad, have that need... that drive to work no matter what, even if it's not a job they enjoy... they just need to be working.  I on the other hand, have no problem taking it easy.  Instead of a work hard, play hard attitude, I like to think of it as a work hard, rest a lot attitude.  My vacations usually have at least one day where we just kick back... things are not planned, etc.  That's how I like it... I like having generic plans. 

So now I guess I need to ask myself, is my more laid back attitude a good thing or a bad thing?  Sure, it means that right now I would rather hold out for a dream job versus doing just anything... but where do I draw the line?  How long can I really wait for that perfect job?  I'm still not sure... but I'm just going to enjoy my birthday next week and hope that one of my resumes is making it's way into the "YES" pile.
