Help me, job interviews I don't want.

[Qwisp]

After weeks of nothing, I finally have not one but two job interviews. Normally I might be ecstatic. Here's the thing though, both of them are in a city it will take me around two hours to get to by car or train. Three hour commutes if traffic is bad, which is probably most of the time heading north.

Now you are probably asking yourself "Self, why the hell did Qwisp apply to these jobs if she didn't want to drive there?" That would be a valid question. The first job , posted its headquarter address not the job address. The second job maybe I was high or stupid or couldn't read the location. I don't know.

I am torn about what to do. I am going to approach both jobs with the attitude, of not caring. I will do my best, don't get me wrong. I will probably be less nervous and come across better. You know what that means? I will be offered both jobs. Because of the commute I will be asking for a bigger salary. On one of the jobs I will ask for what I made at my last job, for the second job I want 5 grand more. Because I really, really, really don't want another job with a long commute, I'm doomed. My last job was 60 miles away, but was going southwest. No traffic straight shot. Took me an hour. I hated the drive.

Advice please?Maybe some commiseration.What would you do?? What should I do?? I would take 10 grand less just to be close to home. In this economy though I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. I have been unemployed for six months and up until now they haven't exactly been beating down my door.

If I take the job I will not feel right quitting the moment something better comes along, and I will work hard. They both would probably be something I love, if I didn't have to fricken drive so far. (I do plan on taking mass transit if I get either job).
