    I have an interview for Friday morning and I'm wondering what excuse can I use to get the day off?

    1) I am currently on a contract position = meaning no sick/personal days.

    2) I don't want to say its for an interview at another company.

    3) I don't want to jeopardize my current job until I KNOW I got the other job. I want this to go as smoothly as possible. What's a good excuse?

    Yes, but if you dress like a slob at work make sure to go change your interview clothes before showing up.

    Doctor's appointment. Nobody typically asks what for.

    Tell them your sister just got accepted to Yale, so you have to stay home all day and have sex with her.

    Tell them you had some 'women's issues' and do double quotes with your fingers. If they look at you weird, explain that Aunt Flo visited you. If they still don't understand tell them in an exasperated voice that you had your period and then huff off the restroom crying.

    Tell them that the dome light in your car was left on and that the battery is dead so you have to get AAA out there to give you a jump. Then call back later and say that the battery was so dead that it wouldn't take a jump and that you had to get a ride to auto repair store to get a new battery.

    Or tell them that your wife's purse was stolen and your wallet was in it so you have to go get a new driver's license and cancel all of your credit cards.

    I have used both of these. A couple of times. I have many more as well. Many.

    That's old school, man. Nowadays you have to tell them your wife's camera got stolen.

    Sometimes old school is what it takes to get the job done.

    Think the ones with doctor or car battery are good, everyone understands that.

    Urinary tract infection and you have to urinate every 5 minutes along with being in a lot of pain and discomfort.
    I don't see people asking questions about that.

    I just had a kidney stone and had to take some time off. You'll get plenty of sympathy and a lot of 'Good luck with all that'. Nobody expects you to work with a kidney stone.

    Tell them you got your dong stuck in the pedestal fan, so you are having it checked out.

    Your gf just dumped you last night and you're extremely depressed.

    Go with Dr or Dentist appointment. Tell them in advance and let them know you will be in as soon as it is over.

    Dress normally, even if you have to change, or they'll know.

    Just say you need some time that morning to take care of some personal business, and that you'd be glad to make the time up.

    If they inquire further, just stick to your guns.
