UPDATE: I was about to call Interview #2 and stopped. I've been thinking about this nonstop since leaving #2 yesterday and I can't quite justify passing up on #1. I'm going on vacation at the end of the month and that's part of the reason that they want me to start immediately. I ended up calling #1 and accepting. #2 doesn't start until July, so I keep telling myself that if I'm really unhappy with #1 then maybe I can still get back in good with #2. Thanks for your help girls, at least I know somebody on the inside who is saying that she loves the company. Woohoo, I have a job again! :::runs off to buy new work clothes:::
I quoted the update from my other post:

Thanks girls again for your help with my interview questions.
Interview #1 went great and they offered me the job on the spot, right in the middle of the range I gave them, and they want me to start on Friday so I have to let them know ASAP.
Interview #2 also went really well and they said that they had to discuss salary with the powers that be and that I should hear from them by Weds.
I'm so glad to know that I can finally get back to paying off the debt, instead of scraping by. A former coworker actually works at interview #1 and she says its a great company (I'm pretty sure that's why they felt comfortable offering me the position on the spot), I just wish the commute was less (at least 1.5 hours - which is common around here).
Interview #2 The job wouldn't start until July, but it's about 2miles from my house and I don't have an offer yet.
Ok, so I have to call Interview #1 today and let them know if I accept BUT I can't stop thinking about #2. Would it be wrong of me to call them and say that I received another offer after leaving there yesterday? I don't want them to feel like I'm pressuring them but if they are seriously considering me (which it seemed like they are) then I want to give the chance to do something about it, or at least let them know so they can scratch me off the list.
What do I say? I've never been in this kind of position before?
