the job sitch

Well,
the time has come,
to say Goodbye,
to telemarketing....
Sad, but true. My project ended Thursday, put on hold until the leaders decide whether to continue, since we were just in the pilot period until now. I had an interview this morning, that I had set up earlier in the week since I hated telemarketing anyways. Good planning, huh? It was with an international currency trading business. They offered me the job before the interview was even over! Craziness. It pays well and it would be good career-wise, but I would have to quit Ulpan and it would be a totally American experience, just located in Israel. So then this afternoon, I got confirmation that I am being considered for an editing position for the international news service (they translate articles from Hebrew and Arabic to English, so they need English-speaking editors). My roommate and another girl I know work translate for them, so I probably have a pretty good chance. That would be an evening job that I could do at home, so I could continue Ulpan an live a more "Israeli" life. Of course, it's not exactly something that would be impressive to Business schools in a few years, though.
WHAT SHOULD I DO???????????????????????????
p.s. I saw the Haredi (othodox) Humpty-Dumpty the other day. He was shaped like an egg - short and roundest in the middle, with his pants under his elbows. It was classic.
p.p.s. I did my good deed for the week yesterday, when I lent my cell phone to this random Haredi man on the bus. He just leaned across the aisle and asked if he could use my phone. I let him, thinking it would just be a quick call. But he had this whoooole conversation, and ended right before he got off the bus. But whatever, he was nice about it so it's fine. Funny, though.
p.p.p.s. Back to me - what should I dooooooooooooo?????
