Sabbatical

An indeterminate period of time taken by a middle-manager off-work, which may either be paid or unpaid, taken by someone who may or may not be successful, who also may or may not be in the midst of a mid-life crisis, so that they can decide what they want (or do not want) to be when they grow up, before eventually returning to their desk job after realising the golden age of piracy ended 300 years ago.

Sadbatical

Sadbatical: a period of time during grief which someone does not work and is able to rest and honor their sorrow.

As you may know, I've recently endured a tragic loss, and after much contemplation, I feel it is best I take a sadbatical for a temporary yet undetermined amount of time. If you need assistance during this time while I'm unavailable, please call 555-448-0987 and speak with Tamra. She is taking care of my clients while I'm away. Thank you for your understanding during this time.
