I'm going to take a counter position to some of the other advice on this thread.
Consider taking this gig. As an internship, I suspect that it's going to last 3-6 months. Yes, the commute sucks but I suspect you'll learn something far more important:
1. How users react to systems that geeks/engineers put in place.
2. How to talk to non-technical users (who, I assume, are the likely callers)
I did a short stint at a helpdesk many years ago and it certainly helped me learn how to talk to non-technical people. (I also did two summers selling cars at CarMax which, IMHO, was a fantastic way to learn how to sell yourself to anyone.)
