I still have the job, you know. I figured since I spent so much time on
the paperwork I might as well.

Incidentally, about 15 years ago I was working in a recruiting\temp
agency that specialized in restaurant staff, mostly waiting staff. The
town was a major sea resort so demand during the season was quite high.
Next door and in the same building was this matchmaking\relationship
counseling office. So this guy turns up one morning and after some
greetings I sit him down and start asking him the usual questions. You
know, things like:
- How much experience do you need this person to have?
- What skills are important to you?
- Do you need to do a background check on the person?
- When do you need them to start?
So at one point he says something like "OK, these are all fine
questions but all I want is for her to be single, good looking and open
minded" At that point I had to say "Wow, buddy that's not legal not to
mention the ethical issues" So he goes "What do you mean?" and starts
insisting that he has the right to choose and have his criteria for the
choice. So I explain to him that that's true but that at the very least
the government requires that he does not discriminate based on
protected classes. He was quite amazed that the government got involved
in this and started flat out cursing the government for sticking their
noses into everything. So finally he says "You know this dating service
just sucks - I am better off jsut being single"
