Twilght or Dawn?

Nightfall or Daybreak?

Lousy metaphors aside, I'm entirely caught between a rock and a hard place. I think I'm safe enough spelling out my situation, because no one will see this any time soon, if at all.

Since the middle of January, when I started work at FI, I've been telemarketing. Not without gaps, but the largest percentage (easily a majority) has been cold calling lawyers. The largest minorities have been some policy processing (data entry basically. In other times, I may have been upset by it.) and filling in for the file clerk while she had a lung infection. Since I was hired as an assistant underwriter I thought my job would include data entry, paperwork, and generally being the office bitch.

I've been mentally prepared to quit for a long time now (Feb. 6 to be exact) but less than thrilled by the potential for things to go wrong. Because if I didn't get into GMU, then NEU would likely be upset with me for quitting. Since Monday when I had a meeting with the co-op coordinator for econ majors I've had fewer reasons against quitting. Since the university (or at least the econ coordinator) has become frustrated by the response he's gotten from my superiors at FI. As we are the last bunch of co-ops to head to FI, there would be no repercussions from the co-op department if I left.

Hopefully, around the 17th/18th NoVA gets a letter from GMU that says my transfer was accepted. Now, co-op wants me to find another position until the end of June (plausible, there are a few leads). I really just want to head home, try to find some part-time work that doesn't require sales (long-shot) or go back to the dot-com job at Safeway (I still object to the concept of 5 am).

The problem is that in the time it would likely take me to get a new position up in Boston, that would almost certainly overlap with when I predict to hear from GMU.

So what is my best option? Doing anything irrevocible as far as NEU is concerned without knowledge of is foolhardy at best and idiocy at worst.

Well, there is one piece of information I need and don't have. So I'm going to call her now. Maybe then I will know what to do.
