10. Oh, happy day!!!



AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Yeah. Ahh....

So, my hysteria happily cured, I reached Palm Springs and the comfort of my parents' welcoming open arms (and liquor cabinet), and nestled into the warmth of their hospitality and love... after a couple cocktails at Shame on the Moon, of course.

And in the morning, I got the call that I'd been waiting for.

"Samantha, this is Jason Walsh from The Pacific Sun. I'd like to formally offer you the job..."

Can I get a hallelujah?

Amen.

(The Pacific Sun is an over-40-year-old, award-winning alternative newsweekly based in San Rafael, with a focus on Marin County. The job I accepted is for their one and only staff writer position, which I believe entails general features reporting, and it starts March 20. Wish me luck!)
