So when I last left off, back on Jan. 16, and two days before I was unofficially going to be leaving The Desert Sun, I guess I kinda gave the impression that perhaps I wouldn't be leaving my primo corporate newsroom gig and the glamorous life in Palm Springs...
HA!
The truth is, I did indeed have to go.
While I was super grateful for how everything turned out, desert tour and all, the nagging feeling for me was that living and working in San Francisco is actually part of my big dream. Palm Springs was just a way-station. And it was a lovely station, really.
After another persuasive talk with the Editor at TDS, I opted to stay just one more week, in order to save up just a bit more money before splitting. So yeah, they did offer me the job. He even offered to let me go get my city fix for a month and then come back. But I told him I didn't think that would be enough time. So yes, I did turn down the fulltime features reporter gig at one of the largest news corporations in the world...
But c'mon--allow me to run through the last few stories I was assigned: the "Pillars of the Community" ceremony, the La Quinta Library expansion, the Senior Center's annual chili cook-off, and a four-month golden retriever who fetches the newspaper.
Oh, there's more... but isn't that enough, honestly??
