I find it's easier to do these interviews on Mondays or Fridays so you can just say you'd like to take a long weekend.

Mondays are supposedly bad because it's the beginning of the week and that's when people are catching up and busy and Fridays are the end of the week where everyone wants to go home and will rush you out of the interview esp if it's in the afternoon...LOLSo far I'm looking at Tuesday. I figure screw it - my company has already given me advanced notice for June of next year, so why should I care if they know (especially because they've promised me a decent bonus if I stay through the termination date, which gives them more incentive not to care if I jump ship early)

If a company can't find someone to interview you in a professional manner at a time that is convenient to you, that might be a sign that you don't want to work there anyway.
