ok if the truth aint your thing i understand where you're coming from.

Try one of these.

A milk float overturned at the bottom of my road this morning and the area has been closed for the frie brigade to come wash the milk and glass away.

or

I know it sounds bizzare but you may even see this on local news later today but a door from a plane fell out the sky and hit my roof, waiting for a builder to get here and see whats what.

or

call them about an hour after you're meant ot be at work and say...i know you woant beliee this but i've been in hospital all night and only just got in. Been in agony and all the xrays the docs did have shown nothing. they gave me tons of painkillers and told me to try and sleep thru the pain till i see a specialist in a couple of days.
if they ask whats your problem was just say "personal things i'd rather not discuss"


Some of the best lies of all time there

I can`t understand your reluctance to tell the truth? as others have said you are being made redundant so whats the problem with time off for an interview? I`m sure that by law they have to give you time off for interviews anyway?

Yep they have to give you reasonable time off. If they can't be arsed to treat people with respect, why should you return the compliment?

Book a docs/dentists appointment for 1 hr after, or before your interview then you have the genuine reason to be off. Just so happens you'll use a bit of extra time to go for an interview.

Or tell the truth, and if they sack you or make your life hell do 'em for wrongful/constructive dismissal.

Sorted.
