So, could you actually screw a company with whom you have a verbal agreement to take a job in favor of a job that suits you more?

Yup.

If the opportunity arose, I would commence the over-dicking posthaste.

You've given me the topic for my next 15shillings column, but I'll give you the short version of how it sorta happened to me... I was four days into my job at Bell Atlantic when I was offered a job at the library. I went in the next day and told Bell Atlantic goodbye.

In case you didn't catch that, I'm advocating you simply inform NJ that a better offer came up , thank them for your time and do what makes you happy... You'll regret it if you don't...

Just my humble opinion...

The only problem with cloning--the clone could turn on you. Remember in Calvin & Hobbes when Calvin cloned himself and the clones locked him in his room and wreaked havoc upon the populace? See, if you could split clones off from yourself at will and pull them back into yourself at the end of the day, then you could have the joy of multiple paychecks without the hassle of clones with individual personalities.
