tw100 challenge #143 Open and #74 Celebration, and for "J" in my alphabet prompt table. I cheated a little and went for "jubilation" rather than the strict definition of "jubilee."

Tosh had been struggling with this program for eight months, but—

Now, finally, everything clicked into place. In jubilation, she jumped up and looked for the others, then remembered they'd gone home. Well, they wouldn't understand her excitement, anyway. Tosh sighed.

"What's up? Did it work?" Jack had returned.

Tosh beamed and nodded.

Jack laughed out loud, hugged Tosh and swung her around. "You're brilliant! UNIT's been trying to crack that problem for decades."

She blushed with the realization that he'd actually been paying attention.

Next morning when she arrived at work, Tosh found a celebratory cupcake waiting for her.
