Job hunting while employed can be tricky.  We all know that an interview may, at times, take longer than expected (should you do the lunch hr thing) and also, if your dress code differs from an onsom for an interview, another problem.

Biggie here-one does NOT know when an interview will be offered!  So ya cannot just take vacation and hope.

Sounds crazy.......but maybe develop some type of problem-family illness, bad teeth, whatever you may conjure up because you probably do not want to risk losing your current income. And should you choose to conjure up an "issue", you would most likely need to be a good liar if you are not a private person at work.

So you hate going to work on Mondays?  It is not unusual for an employee to be disgruntled, but it pays the bills and allows for you to continue with your "passion".  How sweet is that???? I bet there are many people who would envy you.
