Weirdest interview experience you've ever had.

Mine was show up for a 9:30am interview. Interviewer hadn't even showed up to work yet.

10am rolls around, Im explaining to the receptionist that I'm leaving, when he comes in. Points at me, and says, sorry I'm late, family emergency, follow me to my office.

We sit down, he picks up my resume, and starts reading it to me, or maybe outloud to himself. If I tried to talk to expand on what he was reading he told me to be quiet.

He finished reading my resume, and told me I looked promising, and they would let me know within a week if I got moved into the next round. Literally did not ask me a single question.

Weirdly they called me 2 days later for another interview, I passed because that whole experience, and turns out I was right. A friend I made later worked for them.

Interviewer was the owner on a power trip. Wanted the best qualified person he could find, that would also let him walk all over them.

Anyone deal with threat of violence?

My LO threatened to punch me out last nigh (his words) because I refused to make him a second dinner, and offered a snack instead.

In my shock I told him to try, but I would hit back. (Not my best moment), and he basically ran away from me.

I need advice on how to deal with threat of violence. Because Im all for redirecting, or changing the topic, but that doesnt always work. Amd I dont think my response to his threats of violence was particularly helpful. As he ran away.

Has anyone put a GPS tracking app on their parents/loved ones phone?

We live on a farm. One of my LO's favorite things to do is walk the fields and just check on things. And I am all for that. It keeps him active, and he feels like he is being productive and helping.

But he is late 80's. I am getting seriously worried that he may trip and fall, and we will be running a search party for him. As he carries his phone with him everywhere, I thought there must be an app for this.

I know life 360 is one. But Im wondering if anyone here uses something different. I know I can just look this up, but hoping for real world experiences.
