And you want your current employer to pay for it.
You have not been in the current job for 6 months so you are not entitled to sick days.
You have already used your accrured holidays and only have a couple of hours owing.
You do not have the imagination to figure out an excuse to tell your current employer.
What a catch...

+1 - HTFU and say you won't be coming to work until XX am/pm on that or that day. When asked for a reason you can say that you're going to a job interview or that you're not going to answer that question.
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
