Lining

Hey all, I made a post a few days back for which I came to the conclusion that I would be searching externally for another role. Well a few days later, I'm now experiencing a different problem. If you want to interpret the following as a humblebrag, that's fine. I just want ways to solve this new problem. I've passed the phone screen for 2 companies and all want me to come onsite. I've still yet to schedule phone interviews with more companies. It turns out coordination and finding excuses to be out of work is harder than solving leetcode problems thus far. A lot of the typical excuses to be out of work will draw suspicion for me: * Long vacation to ___: I've already developed a reputation for not using my vacation time until they expire. Taking a long vacation by myself would arouse suspicion. * Right before vacation accrual cap reached: Can be used once, adjacent to a weekend. (1 day) * Car blah blah: What car? I live in New York, I don't have a car. * Delivery of goods: I thought you were frugal man. * Apartment repair/maintenance: Can be used for a one-off get out of jail free card after applying the accrual cap excuse. (2 days) * Sick: Was already sick recently * Doctor's appointment: Good to use for phone interviews to block half the day or work from home, so not using for out of office. * Family/child stuff: This is me on Valentine's day and my teammates probably know it. * Visiting my parents: Already did that during holidays. * Sudden family event: Not worth taking this nuclear option since there is a risk that I get no offers. So we have 2 days worth of excuses. Any ideas on what a person like me can use to minimize suspicion with a lot of out of office at once? We also need to keep in mind the onsites should be timed to be as close to each other as to make sure I have maximum negotiating leverage if the offers roll in. Maybe it's not even worth worrying about arousing suspicion and take a pip in stride, but as people say, a job in the hand is worth more than many offers in the bush.
