Indulged in odd places between jobs? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idle

'between jobs?' is the definition.

'indulged in odd places' is the wordplay.
'in odd places' indicates alternate letters (only odd-numbered letters).
The alternate letters of 'indulged' are 'IDLE'.

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Lazy - vain" , "Run out of gear" , "Slothful" , "Do very little" , "Hang about doing nothing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
