My week is looking up

You'd think I'd be an old hat at this sort of thing, but it still make me want to get up and dance when it happens...
I just had a paper accepted for publication!!!
*victory dance*
The only trouble is that it's still a bit too long for a Letter. Time to pull out the red pen.
Now, I just need to be told I got the part in the musical I auditioned for last night, and my week will be complete.

I understand that, back in the day, a more rapid turnaround time was a big deal, but with everything these days being posted on arXiv as soon as it's accepted (often sooner), the line between an ApJ manuscript and an ApJL manuscript is blurred.

My feeling is that publishing times have been getting longer in the last few years, and I could really use another publication before job hunting season opens again this fall.
