Not going to happen. Agencies have very strict rules about this and the employee will end up blacklisted and the employer will be sued.

You've got a "useless" liberal arts degree from a third tier at best college and a mottled work history which includes terminations for cause. You've got a bad attitude and seem to be very lazy with a poor work ethic. And you are better because?

I'm going to say this one more time. It WAS in your field. Your field is SOCIAL SERVICES and it WAS a SOCIAL SERVICES position. Are you really that dense?

National DO NOT CALL Registry. Takes care of that problem. Oh, but then you might have to actually get a job.

You said that you treat weekdays between 10AM and 6PM as "working days" and concentrate on your job search. So was yesterday (just as an example) a holiday, a slow day at the office, or did you take a Personal day off?

If you think for one red hot minute that employment and temp agencies don't give weekly reports to U/E, you really need to stop and think again. They can and do find out that you've refused work.
