I've not read Tom Robbins, but this sounds a lot like Rob Kroese's Mercury series, which features a journalist protagonist whose job it is to report on various purported End Times. She gets very complacent, because all of the supposed End Times turn out to be fake...until one day one turns out to be the real thing. And it comes complete with a very distractable angel, Mercury, sent from heaven specifically to prepare for the end of the world.
I believe Kroese's series is self-pub, but I've read most or all of them, and have enjoyed all that I have read. They go on sale a lot...
