Shelleying

Next-level skiving. Raising avoidance of the workplace to an art form.

When I woke up today, the heating was nearly half a degree out of whack, so I obviously had to some Shelleying. I told my boss I had hypothermia and was in the spa by 9.30.

A sustained campaign of Shelleying had enabled Simon to write his first novel, a six hundred page meditation on one man’s struggle with devastating haemorrhoids.

Person 1: “Man, I’ve not been in to work on a Friday for 15 years. I tell them I’m working from home, but I’ve totally cracked out the gin by mid-morning.”
Person 2: “Dude, that is some epic Shelleying.”

Stellenbosch

There are several but only two worth mentioning:

1.- It is a beautiful town/city situated in the Cape Winelands and is +/- 40km from Cape Town, South Africa, itself.

2.- It is home to students from all over the world who attend Stellenbosch University. It is a crazy place where every student studies hard and plays harder

We will be going wine tasting on the wine farms in Stellenbosch.

"I got accepted to Stellenbosch University!" "awesome! what you studying?" "Viticulture hopefully. I'm going there to drink wine everyday!"
