God im so stupid! i knew i had blown it!
People dont generally tell their bosses that they are hoping for another job right? ever? Its general practice to keep it quiet and then simply hand in your two weeks.

well no, i wasnt asking to raise my salary, lol. She did actually come back with higher figures and i was like, eh, ok. I was being nice and telling my boss heads up that i had gotten a call from the other place. I had done a week from a two week trial and was offered the job already but the day it was offered i got a call.

She's giving you two days to decide or what?
If you think she's about to fire you for disloyalty, give her reason to back off by making her fear a lawsuit. What do you have to lose?
Be straightforward on the issues.. "My pay is low and I'm exploring other opportunities. I don't know if anything will come of it and I plan to stay here for now. If I find I'm marketable at a higher rate, you might want to consider my position here and make a competitive offer".
Fear of a lawsuit should be achieved by hints, not by threats. "I was chatting with my lawyer friend last week and he said no company would be foolish enough to fire a person for looking at the job market, the risks are too high" is a bit strong, but you get the drift.
Either you get fired, promoted, a new job, win a law suit, lose a law suit or stay where you are, but people climb the latter in corporate America by not taking crap, by taking risks and by facing down middle managers who want an easy life.
That fact that you can talk frankly, take a risk and make a deal is going to make them see you in a different light.

People generally don't tell their current bosses that they are seeking a new job unless they are a valuable employee in their current job and are hoping that this will cause their boss to offer them a raise to stay instead of taking a new job. It usually only works once, though, and like I said, you had better be an exemplary employee. Otherwise, it simply provides them with the opportunity to get rid of you. Sounds like your boss called you on this one.

Tell her you are staying and still go to the interview. Then if you get the job, if your boss really wants to keep you she will offer you a raise or what ever.
Don't say things like that to your boss, sheesh!

attempt to be undemanding; tell your employer the problem bothering you it seems that, with none style of exaggeration. seek for his suggestion and help to triumph over the region. and likewise in an interview for sure state your project and attempt to no longer blame your employer, as your employer isn't present over there. attempt to show out your draw back, clarify approximately your efforts to triumph over this and divulge motives why your efforts went in ineffective. yet it quite is extremely confusing, yet once you may clarify some factors which you probably did no longer comply in this technique which will create an harmless impression. good success.

you never should have told your boss.. you should have waited until you got the new job and then gave your two weeks notice . some companies has an at will law and can terminate your employment without giving you a cause or reason. never tell, until you are sure you have the other job....

Yeah, probably not the smartest thing to do.
Ignore her deadline. You only work for her, she doesn't command your life.
If she fires you, start collecting unemployment.
If you get the job, give as much notice as possible.
