Unless you are talking "on a whim" with no notice it would have to be a pretty terrible employer to not let you take a Tuesday off.

I'd be inclined as long as you give a week or two notice to approve that time off no problem. However, if you lied and said you were sick there is a major trust issue there and there would probably be disciplinary action
