Are beggars ever allowed to be choosers?

I sure as heck hope so because I made a decision today that I might end up regretting. I applied for a job on Craigslist for an assistant position at an entertainment PR company, and when they called me in for an interview, I turned it down. It actually sounded like a glorified internship—it pays by the hour, which means no benefits and it sounded like a lot of bitch work. AND the office is in New Jersey. Umm, no thanks. I don't have time for hour-long commutes! You know I have no qualms about doing bitch work, especially if it's for a really good job that could help enhance my skills and network, but I just didn't get the feeling that this was one of those jobs. I always say that if you listen to your gut, you really can't go wrong. And while I desperately do need more consistent work, I have been getting a lot more quality work since I was fired, and I really don't want that to change.  

Plus, one thing that's working in my favor at the moment is  the fact that I am what I call the YES girl. People come to me because they know I'm always up for anything. Ellen, are you free to do a reporting assignment tomorrow morning? YES. What about Friday night? YES. Can you assist me on a styling job next week? YES. And visit the set of my new TV show at 1pm tomorrow? YES. You get the point. 

I am trying to find part-time work (in addition to all that fun photo scanning I've been doing!), but until something bigger and better comes along, I just don't know if it's smart for me to settle on a full-time job that won't benefit my future. Plus, although Craigslist is not beneath me, I do think it can be a bit sketch. 

So what do you guys think: Did I make a smart move or am I a total idiot? Right, I know who's not getting any sympathy the next time she cries about her depressing checking account.
