Natasha at Pacific Views ran across an example of how desperate some job seekers have become:
The DJ calls a woman who'd recently applied for a job, pretending to be from the drug testing company she'd submitted a urinalysis to. He said that they'd found high levels of "REO Speedwagon" in the sample after checking twice to make sure. (You can be snide about her not getting that it was a prank right there, but what followed was distinctly unfunny.)
She goes on to tell the DJ how much she needs this job, that it's such a good job, and that she's been unemployed for six months. She swears she's been clean. Then she starts begging him to change the results. She asks if he's married, and in the space of about a minute goes from offering lunch, to a night out for drinks, to saying she'll sleep with him.
