okay i was slightly weirded before

what I was just about to type when a quick hang up call just pushed me to disturbed.

I found out that "Roadside Hotel Chain" near me were looking for bar staff so I went in to hand in my cv and was immediately taken through for an interview which I felt went really well and was given a time tomorrow to come in for a 5-9 trial.
All looking forward to it I've already had the clothes I'm wearing on the side since I came home after the interview and already have what I'm doing to prepare and get there all scheduled.
But at 00:38 I received a four minute call from the Manager who interviewed me asking me if I could come in Friday instead of tomorrow.
It's not what he asked it was the fact for the first 30 seconds he seemed to be distracted or unable to form a sentence (please no jokes XP it wasn't like that *ick*) his engrish ;0) is not very clear but he had trouble telling me who it was or talking clearly.
Eventually I find who it is and that if I could come in for the work trial on Friday and this was repeated several times to which I made myself clear that I could. He then went on to other questions like did he disturb me was I sleeping (yes) and then where was I (holy shit! explain later*) as I had mentioned a family engagement on Friday but that I was sure I could make it and I said I was home and why was he asking all these questions about where I was?
Eventually it went back to repetitive questions about doing the trial Friday, can change the dates, so Friday, you'll come in Friday, 5-9 Friday, sorry I call so late yeah it's we just close the bar and I just finish. and eventually he gets off the phone. I'm just saying okay and repeating yes ill be there Friday at 5 the whole time trying to figure out what is going on and why is he calling so late and why is he sounding like he's not all there?

Then at 00:45 I get a missed call from the same number.

At 00:53 I get another call this time 3 minutes long and this time he sounds much more alert and coherent but what he's saying does not make sense.
Hello Kat it's **** I need to drop something off for yours trial, I'm just on way home now and I can drop it off to you.
"I'm sorry excuse me what? You are not coming to my house. What do you need to drop off?"
At first he states I need it for the trial but I cant quite catch what it is at first and he repeats how he's finished work and needs to drop *something* off, turns out he's saying uniform, that apparently I need it to which I remind him he already told me what to wear (black trousers and black or white shirt) and that I would be turning up early so I could pick up the uniform then (trial is 6-9 so I said I would like to come in earlier so I could get my bearings learn the layout of the bar.) but he kept saying I had to have it as soon as possible that if he's not to drop it off that I must pick it up tomoro and would then say he would drop it off and apologising for the time. When he apologised for disturbing me I kinda broke and said "Yes, you are disturbing me in fact you're making me very uncomfortable, why do you have to call me so late when you can call in the morning or afternoon? I don't understand why I must have the uniform right now or pick it up tomorrow when I am coming in extra early I could get the uniform then. I would prefer if it you didn't come to my home."
To which he just repeats he's just finished his shift which was why the late time (but surely if you are Manager you can take 4 minutes DURING your shift to make a work related call? o_O and NOT from your mobile. 0_0) the call is ended with him saying he would call me tomoro at 5 to arrange me coming in to collect the uniform and then when will you come in? What time? Okay I'll put the uniform in housekeeping so they can wash it then. (okay thanks) so when you coming in? "Look I'm coming in an hour early because the trial was 6-9 and I was going to come in an hour early to learn the layout of the bar so I don't see why I can't just collect the uniform then." He is hesitant but then just repeats that he'll call me tomoro afternoon and ends the call.

* the holy shit comment was me having an Artardia moment when I connected his questions of my location in the first call to the sudden need to drop off uniform (uniform that I was told at the interview was not needed black trousers & black or white shirt for trial was fine.) in the middle of the night for a trial now 2 days away in the second call.

I have to say I'm REALLY freaked out. I mean maybe .. nope i just wrote out what would be a plausible excuse for calling so late, on his mobile and the strange behaviour and offering to drop off uniform at this time of night when you know already you have disturbed this person previously, and the fact that I'm 3 miles away! No I deleted the attempt to explain it but I just can't and now every car that drives past my window I hold my breath and listen to which way they turn if they pull up or park and for the knocking at my door.
Writing this all out is the only thing that ironically has kept me from freaking out completely lol.

So NOW I'm thinking I don't want to go to this trial I feel incredibly uncomfortable about this mans behaviour. Does he truly have no concept of time and employee/employer behaviour/boundaries? To which what do I do? OR is he a dirt-bag whose probably high and trying to find an excuse to pass by? To which, fuck, I'm calling the police.

I have to say despite the fact I've been trying to get a job behind the bar in a place like travel lodge/express or travel/premier inn for a while I don't think he could ever be able to explain the behaviour this evening enough for me to feel okay in his presence and to not always be weary and suspicious of him.

I HAD been meaning to update for about 3 days now and I vowed I would at some point tonight but not about THIS! Actually now I try to remember what i WANTED to post the less i can.

God I'm easily freaked I keep thinking I can hear knocking lol.
