Not having internet is more of a 1st world problem.
128k internet is fairly std in many countries

Not really, access to the internet is classed as a human right now

Just had a message from an interview i had a few weeks ago, asking me to go in and head up one of their new sales departments
money will be good, job will be hard, but i dont wana do sales
at the same time i've just got all of my details off to another prospective job which i'd much rather take, whee the money will be better and the stress much lower... but i'll have to wait another few weeks/months before i know anything about that one
what the fuck do i do??

When does the first one want you to start?
Could you accept it and find out about the other before you start? Just long the first one off if you get the second...

Might as well go in and find out what the situation is. They'd probably start you on a probation period anyway, which will give both sides a shorter notice period for a few months... if the good one comes through you can probably jump ship at a week's notice.
Remember it's a business transaction you're making... unless Company A is somewhere you're really likely to have to seek work again, don't worry too much about pissing them off.

Measure your cereal portions in future so you don't have this issue.

No, they have these things called scales. You can measure weights with them.

Impressive.
Do you weigh your morning poo on the way out and subtract the difference to work out your length of workout each day?
