So I'm currently in between jobs as such.... the last place I worked was extremely unprofessional and as I was moving to Portsmouth they let me go.
Anyway, fast forward a week and I have a job offer for January which is a mixture of what I was doing and what I really want to do (journalism) and that's great. But until then I need a job.
I've been offered a really great interview on Monday where I will find out straight away whether or not I've got it. The basic is great and there is wicked commission involved however I haven't got it just yet. However I've also been offered a job at another place with bad basic, okish opportunities for commission and seems just unprofessional as the last place.
I tried to get the interview for today but they wouldn't schedule it and I told the one I am supposed to start next week that I couldn't start on the Monday. They've come back to me and said it's the only possible day I can start as they have four people coming in on that day and want to train us together.
I don't know what to do, blow off the bad job and risk not having anything. Or blow off the interview and start at a job that I think might be as bad as the last.....
Suggestions?

Tough one, if the good job will let you know though. How are other job prospects? Any temping opportunities if you do decide to blow of the crappy job?
Personally, I would blow off the bad job, as I like to take a risk. When risks pay off, it's all good.
