Actually a few day break every once in a while is good in any sport or fitness activity. It gives the body a chance to rest and rebuild. If you've already been off the bike a few days, get back in the saddle and take a few recreational rides to get things moving again, then resume your training. The physical and mental boost will help both in coping with your current situation and with getting a new job. Employers like to see bright, alert, and fit applicants.
