What is wrong with me?

I haven't been looking for a new job, but I regularly get those annoying emails from headhunters. One came across recently that appealed to me so I responded. I've been asked to come back for round two interviews.
Pluses: more $, more stable company, closer, no travel, similar responsibilities.
Minuses: I can't see how I'll be able to get to the Inner Room any more if I take the job and my all time favorite is coming back soon after a 5 month sabbatical.
Here's the thing.
I'm thinking about turning down the job if I get an offer.
WTF????

There are other hot women, and better money helps you get access to more of them.
Keep thinking through the process. These decisions take time.
It may have seemed crazy to apply for a job based on the solicitation you received. Thinking about how this new job might effect your clubbing isn’t crazy. Hopefully you will get an offer!
But I will say, "I" hope I never get to the point where I'm factoring my SC activities with a business decision.
Take the money. You can always more women

But seriously job first. BJ's suggestion is spot on to arrange OTC to fit your schedule. Thats what I do due to fit in my favorite girl(s) with busy work/life commitments.
I have no idea what my chance of getting an offer is, maybe 20%. I'm guessing about 5 people still in the running.
But that is beside the point.
We all consider work/life balance when making career path decisions. Clubbing at IR makes me happy so it would be a sacrifice that warrants consideration. I can't imagine it would tip the scales though.
This office would be 10 miles away.
BTW, I guess I'm a bit strange in that I prefer to work in an office setting to working from home. I like human interaction as part of work.
Many companies have flex-Fridays and if you're a salaried (vs hourly) employee one is usually able to take qn afternoon off here and there for personal appointments (unless the job absolutely requires one's presence during every single minute of a shift)
But onto the subject matter. Could you negotiate a 4-day work week ? 4 - ten hour days instead of 5 eight hour days. That leaves you an IR day. Then make sure your girl works on that day.
I'm sure I can figure something out, but the frequency will be quite a bit less. :-(
I was more asking what is wrong with me that I'm even making this issue a part of the decision making process.
