Maybe there's nothing new out there?

It's Monday and I started looking for work again today as I always do. I have a pretty solid routine where from 8:30 until about 12:30 I look for work, write, and catch up on emails. So I have been searching the job boards and realized that I was applying for two jobs I already applied for months ago. Really? Those jobs are still posted? What's wrong with these people? I mean if they're not actually hiring why do they post the jobs and I've heard from a lot of people that this situation happens all the time. It's ridiculous. I understand they don't care about external people at that point but have they ever looked for a job and gotten excited about something only to find it wasn't available? Or, if I'm not the right candidate and they still haven't found what they're looking for, maybe they need to rethink it. Regardless, wishing they could have rolling rejections for these types of things. Just let me know where I stand. I have 30+ jobs I've applied for and not heard anything. Good thing I'm heading to my parents for a few days tomorrow - I need a break.

What's worse is that I have this overwhelming feeling of actual hatred for some people at my old job because as wrong as it is rationally, I blame them for me losing my job and when it seems like there's no prospects, I focus that frustration on those people. It may be unhealthy but it helps.
