Thanks for your thoughtful response. The full day interview for the job that I want LESS requires an enormous amount of "homework" before the interview. I have to: come up with three superiors, three colleagues and three subordinates for references and contact them; prepare a 10 minute presentation of what I would do in the position during the first 100 days; provide writing samples and make an over-night stay in the location of the interview.

I know that I sound whiney about this, but contemplating it makes me wonder if I do, indeed, want this job given the huge amount of work it would require of me -- and a week before the interview for the REALLY great job.

I'm getting super fatigued here... my current job is a mess, and the wear and tear is just getting to me. Shouldn't one great job prospect be enough?

I feel like I am fighting a war on three fronts: present gig, and two prospective ones -- And I feel it might be wiser to do ONE THING WELL -- interviewing for the job that I really want.
