Je peux m’éclipser?

I had to go to a workshop at the French unemployment office France Travail.

As ever, it was an opportunity for me to practice my French listening and speaking skills.
After having sat through a presentation about another way to potentially find work we all had to give our opinion on what we had heard.
The woman in front of me was an artist and so said it wasn’t really her thing but that she had to come.
She then asked: je peux m’eclipser? and the woman running the workshop said of course.
I had to look it up but it means Can I sneak out?
I like that and will make sure I try to use it when appropriate.
On the job front, I saw a couple of interesting leaflets asking for applicants.
Might give this one a go.
