I actually got the job.
It's a great job for me. It fits really well with my priorities, and my (future) colleagues seem really nice. I'm delighted to have accepted the offer.
I was originally going to make some comments on the job market in this post, but they rapidly got more complain-y than I was comfortable publishing. So suffice it to say: I've been on the job market now for many years. It's taken me as long to get a tenure-track offer as it took me to get a Ph.D. in the first place. I've actually been quite lucky, in that I've had very solid and generally enjoyable temporary teaching jobs in the meantime. But I am ecstatic to finally have that tenure-track offer.

Congratulations! My dept just hired a medievalist, too, so I know the competition is tough. Of course, I have also been on the market for years, and am still waiting for the t-t job, so it is heartening to see that persistence can pay off! Congrats again!
Congrats! That's great news.
Hooray!
I think I already said that. But yay, you!
And man, it's a *good* job.

Many many happy dances! Congratulations! :-D
(note to the masses; Notorious' bewlr (which I see as bewildered) beats my ederti... the noises that emerge from the bewildered ;-)
Congrats!
Congratulations! This is wonderful news.
Yippee Skippee! I was starting to think that T-T jobs were just a myth. There's soooo much depressing job news that good news like this is incredibly exciting. Yay for you! Now go eat some ice cream for me!
Hooray! Congratulations! Now for the fun part!
Many congratulations to you! Pop the champagne...
Wonderful! I am thrilled for you!
Congratulations!!!
Wonderful! I think it wasn't the same one I interviewed for, was it? Congrats ever so much!
ADM: Nope, not the same job!
Everyone: Thanks!
