You can always just say you have a doctors appointment that you really can't cancel, you don't have to go into details since its personal. If you feel guilty or nervous, you could always schedule an appointment for physical after your interview or before like during your lunch.

Just remember while work is important this interview trumps work by a million....trust me I'll be in a similar spot in Feb.

If you just need more time coming back from lunch, cite car troubles on your way back.

That's a good plan, Tiggerise. I'd use your suggestion, iphi, but they know I have a near-new car. Even though my boss probably won't consider that when I ask, I can't help but be a little paranoid.
