      “hi boss I need to take a half day holiday on X date, I have to attend a speed awareness course”

      "Hey bob, can I swap a shift with you on X date, I’ll work your X Saturday. I’ve got to attend a speed awareness course "

      Or if you’re to chicken to tell the truth replace with dentist. Or just throw a sickie.

      It’s hardly rocket science.

        My work is not like that. Not all jobs do sick days. If I miss a day I delay a project and have to kill myself getting it back on track.
