You're up you're down
Ugh, what a day. Thunderstorms woke me up at 5 a.m. At least I didn't get soaked on the way into work like ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monshu, but I did arrive late to my morning meeting--which was fifteen minutes earlier and halfway across the building from when and where I thought it was. I was only back at my desk for a little while before a personnel crisis I thought had been dealt with months ago exploded in my face. Then I spent my last hour trying to chase down an item I believe has been stolen.
There were plenty of high points, though, starting with the DOMA decision which unexpectedly brought tears to my eyes (though for me that's a common symptom of lack of sleep). At the meeting, my Überboss came out with the phrase "brain harvest ritual" in the most inappropriate context imaginable, causing me and a coworker raised Baptist to share what I described as "a 'Children of the Corn' moment". And when I came home (dry again), I found the Old Man in a perfectly lovely mood.
Anticipating the court's decision, we discussed the marriage option some months ago. If Illinois ever gets its act together (in one very small manageable way--I'm an optimist but I'm not insane), we could be hitched before the end of the year. Right now I'm expecting one of those little adjustments which changes nothing and everything at the same time. Kind of like this strategic planning/reorganisation process I'm currently engaged in at work. But, you know, way more important.

Awesome!
Though IL's legislative schedule being what it is, it may take till next year. (The main legislative session runs Jan-Jun-- though between the various special sessions for the state's parlous financial state and the short fall veto session, they may manage to squeeze it in.)

I found words not much later and sent them to pals married but in a liminal legal status for what feels like eons, until now!
Between Wendy Davis in Texas and (courtesy of Rachel Maddow) "Gabe the Intern" sprinting with a print out of the DOMA decision to an Immigration court in NYC to stop a deportation in progress in its tracks - we should take a moment to recognize the work of sneakers in the pursuit of justice.
