An employee (Jeni Olomon) of GDEV/Everest Software (who does much of their staffing through O-desk) is repeatedly spamming me with requests to assist a customer.

When Oh When Will St Charles Medical Center Hire Me?
I have applied for 44 positions at St Charles Medical Center since February 2010.

Monster is the WORST!!
Of all my commentary, comments, and complaints about job sites, job hunting, references, etc (and there are even more than I thought there were; see the links below) Monster.com gets the grand prize for being the most user-unfriendly job site on the planet.
