In my mailbox (The hard-copy one)
It's really just nice to come home to three copies of a journal that has your name printed in it, followed by your work.
And being able to take the "forthcoming" off the cv always prompts a little sigh of relief.
To wit:
Claycomb, Ryan. "Playing at Lives: Biography and Contemporary Feminist Drama." Modern Drama 47:3 (Fall 2004) 525-545.

Congrats, Ryan. I know that taking off "forthcoming" and adding page numbers (!) off the CV is a great feeling. Right now, though, I'd be satisfied to have my current article simply be done....

I know the feeling, Chuck. I'm trying to get another one out the door (from a diss chapter that never made it into the diss), but keep finding ways I could/should tweak it.
