Thanks, guys. It's a senior editor job at a medical school in Dallas (University of Texas-Southwestern), so out of newspapers. My experience is very similar to that of the friend they were going to hire (but I think a little better, actually; a lot more management experience), so my chances are pretty darn good. Plus they're moving VERY quickly, which is a good sign. So yeah, I just need to find something decent to wear and I'm all set. But apparently after this there are still two MORE interviews I'll have to do (all the way up to VP), so I'll have to take some time off work, after all. Oh, well.
But insurance and retirement benefits are great, especially compared to the paper, and the industry's a whole lot more promising than this one (but supposedly the atmosphere is very newsroom-like and a lot of the people are ex-journalists, so that'll be great). The only negative is that it's in Dallas, but at least it's not downtown, and it's really not all THAT much farther than my commute to the paper.
