Getting a conservation job in Missouri

I've looked at so many positions here and all of them say they are closed yesterday. I try to look on the official websites but there is nothing. Are they really not hiring anyone anymore or am I missing something. They all say "posted 9 or 13 days ago" but are already closed. Do I have to be more aggressive with searching and checking daily? Or is there someone I can email or get a meeting with that can help me get in somewhere that I'm not just gardening. I don't mind gardening don't get me wrong but that's the only position available within 5 hours of me. It can't be this hard can it?

How to read this phrase

Ok, I'm a little autistic so I have no idea how to read this in my head. You know the phrase that is roughly "just suffer with ____" like for example if you are with someone you can't stand but can't leave the situation you suffer with them. Am I supposed to read that as they are also suffering or like they are a problem you have. Is it a case by case thing?

Ps. I was listening to "Suffering" by Amélie Darren

PPS. I am on my 2nd cup of coffee at my clerk job so I might just be tired

What should I do when there is nothing to do at work? (Hotel desk clerk)

I work at a hotel and there is so little to do sometimes that there are long periods of time that I really have nothing to do. There is nothing to clean because no one has walked through the lobby in an hour and those who do don't stick around very long or touch anything. I work alone so there are no colleagues to assist. The shop doesn't need stocking and all work tasks are complete. They say to "look busy" but how can I sit and stare are a blank computer screen waiting for human interaction every day for 6 hours out of an 8 hour shift literally every single day? I like my job and we all know how the job market looks right now so I don't want to quit. And if I ask for extra tasks then my coworkers who already have too much on their plates also have to do those things. My boss gets onto me for being on my phone too much but we can't do personal tasks on the work computers. What am I supposed to be doing? Is there something I'm missing?
