Message: I had stayed at home helping my 86 yr old mom for 5 years until her passing this last Nov. Companies seem to think this is terrible, and no one will even return my calls. I also will say I refuse to take a drug test for clerical jobs-what an invasion of privacy. Do the executives have to pee in a cup when they come back from a 3 Martini lunch? or a dinner out with clients. Some people enjoy something other than alcohol after a hard days work-unfortunately, the beer wears off in less than 12 hours-pot in 30 days. There, I unloaded both of my complaints at once!
