sabbatical

Leave time with pay granted to a teacher or professor after serving for six or seven years on the same faculty. Its purpose is to give an extended period of time for concentrated study.

A sabbatical year is a prolonged hiatus, typically one year, in the career of an otherwise successful individual taken in order to fulfill some dream, e.g. writing a book or travelling extensively. Some universities and other institutional employers of scientists, physicians, and/or academics offer a paid sabbatical as an employee benefit

I need a sabbatical to think over some things and get away from the daily routine.

herpes sabbatical

a- the condition of having a herpes cold sore, so large, on your lip that it keeps you from kissing anyone.

b- having a herpes cold sore large enough to render one a hideous creature- hence wanting to stay out of the public eye until it clears up.

a- Valentine's Day came and went, I was on a herpes sabbatical. But I did give out a few rain checks;)

b- There is no way I'm going to that party tonight. I'm going on a herpes sabbatical until this damn cold sore clears up.
