What do you call when you take a short leave from your workplace (like forty minutes or a couple, of hours) with from your boss' permission, to do a personal errand, like picking up an urgent parcel or something of the like, at any given time during the workday (not necessarily at noon) and then return to your workplace.
Is it a "short leave", a "time off", "a break"?
A break is for relaxing, and both "short leave" and "time off" sound more like a matter of days than of hours to me.
