You sound really full of yourself and entitled. A job should last several years, why not spend half a day applying? You don't sound like you really want a new job anyway, but maybe try to put yourself in the shoes of people who do, or who actually _need_ a job.

Because what are the odds that I'm going to land this job? Surely not 100%. If they were, sure, I could spend half a day applying.

But what if my odds are only 10%? Then, on average, I'm going to have to apply to 10 jobs to land one. 10 x half a day is a full working week. Make that two weeks if my odds are only 5%, three weeks if they're only 3%.

That's a problem, especially if I currently have a job. I also have a life; I don't have three spare fulltime weeks to burn to try to land a new job.
