My son texted me the letter "X" at 11 PM.
That is our agreement.
It means: "Things are getting weird. Get me out. But make it look like you are the bad guy."
I called him immediately. I used my "angry dad" voice.
"I told you to clean the garage before you left! Get home right now or you're grounded for a month!"
He hung up, rolled his eyes at his friends, and said, "My dad is such a psycho. I gotta go."
He got in the car. He was safe. He didn't have to be a "snitch" or "uncool."
He just had to be the kid with the annoying dad.
I will wear that badge every single day if it keeps him safe.
HR called a candidate to offer her a role, but she didn’t answer.
Tried again. No response.
Later, the candidate called back crying.
She told the HR, “I’m sorry, I was helping my mother at the hospital. Please tell me it’s not bad news.”
When the HR told her she got the job, she couldn’t speak for a few seconds.
Then HR heard her whisper to her mom, “Mummy, I got the job offer.”
Behind every job offer, there’s a story of patience, pain and prayer.
Let’s never forget the human side of hiring.
