Dilemmas

Dilemma #1
I just got a job and have been there for two weeks and today I get a phone call for a better position with better pay elsewhere. It's even a promotion!
Sigh..what to do? What to do?
Dilemma #2
Got three agent request which should be outstanding...but when I sent out the queries I was expecting a long turnaround. I'm in the midst of a killer re-write to get this thing totally polished..and it looks like it'll be like 3 weeks before I'll be done..now, would these folks be annoyed if I don't send it out right away from their request or they won't remember?
I'm sure they keep a log, but I want to get it right and land a killer agent.
Sigh..the pressures of trying to have a real career! :)

Take the better job.
Agents want it right, not fast.
Never eat a burrito during prime time TV.
Don't you wish you had a magic ball that shows what every place that offers you a job is like??!! I just have to say go with your gut.
If it is going to be longer than a few weeks, give the agent(s) a head's up and tell them you're still polishing. Otherwise, (not to be rude or disrespectful) they have a lot going on, too. Everybody is busy. And honestly - awesome work is worth waiting for. They know it. You know it. Don't worry so much!
Thanks for the advice gals. I think I've figured it out. :)
