In the meantime, check out the differences in meaning between the words hiatus, sabbatical, and break. Or how about siesta, leave of absence, lull, intermission, and suspension They're subtle, yet significant.
But always know the stipulations of your time off. After all, "on a break" meant something very different to Rachel than it did to Ross.
