Is the Annointing of the Sick a form of reconciliation (penance/Confession) for the sick and What i want to confess since consciously i commited a Mortal Sin but has no time due to work reasons, is that a good excuse of receiving a communion without confessing to a priest? and thought of this statement " oh all of us knew anyway that a General Absolution of Sins are recited on every Mass" Is this accepted in our Church under the New Vatican Councill II?
 
Catechism of the Catholic Church

1456
Confession to a priest is an essential part of the sacrament of Penance: "All mortal sins of which penitents after a diligent self-examination are conscious must be recounted by them in confession, even if they are most secret and have been committed against the last two precepts of the Decalogue; for these sins sometimes wound the soul more grievously and are more dangerous than those which are committed openly."54

Mortal sin needs to be confessed in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, no way around that.
Contact your priest to make arrangements to meet with him if your work schedule gets in the way of the normal time.

The 1983 Code of Canon Law indicates that the same requirement applies today. “A person who is conscious of a grave sin is not to . . . receive the body of the Lord without prior sacramental confession unless a grave reason is present and there is no opportunity of confessing; in this case the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible” (CIC 916).

The requirement for sacramental confession can be dispensed if four conditions are fulfilled: (1) there must be a grave reason to receive Communion (for example, danger of death), (2) it must be physically or morally impossible to go to confession first, (3) the person must already be in a state of grace through perfect contrition, and (4) he must resolve to go to confession as soon as possible.
