Another kick in the proverbial nuts

And now the Rival Employer has just upped their offer. Holy shit. I'll be making almost 30 bucks an hour on the weekends. And 3 bucks more per hour base rate.
I told myself I wasn't going to bail out on the job I already accepted. It's a wonderful job at a wonderful facility, just not a wonderful paycheck. But I don't know if I can justify going with a job that is not only not on the shift I want, but offering way less money. All because I was too hasty and accepted the first offer that met my minimum requirement.
And in burning them, I'm going to feel like the world's biggest asshole.

Well, you would be the world's biggest asshole--if you were the only person capable of the job. But you're not. They'll find someone else and get over it. Take the shift and money and don't look back.

Thanks. I know you're right. The good little girl in me just hates to inconvenience or disappoint, though. Especially when I've taken a shine to the person.
But money talks, and I really will enjoy having my evenings free.
