Well Wednesday and Thursday looked remarkably like Tuesday, with the exception that I spent even more time in meetings today, and ended up coming home to work out instead of going to the gym.
They’ve just asked me to take on a very big project at work, so most of my days are going to be like this until, oh, about July 15th or so. This project is a huge deal, and I’m excited they’ve asked me to do it. I’m even more thrilled to have a co-leader tackling it with me, because it would be a lot for one person to handle all on their own. But it is nice to know that they think I’m the right person for the job. And I love a challenge, which this most certainly will be. Not in a bad way. It’s just a complicated project.
A complicated project that I need to go write some notes for, so I’ll keep this short. I did want to weigh in on something though, because it has been bugging me all week. Well, since the last election, really, but it resurfaced this week. I still don’t get all of the hysteria over gay marriage. Why do conservatives feel that gay marriage is a threat to straight marriage? With all of the problems facing this country and the world today, is this really the issue that people think we should be focused on right now? Or is the Bush administration just trying to build some street cred with their unhappy conservative base, while at the same time trying to distract people from focusing on what a mess this country is? Chris has already said all this very eloquently so I’ll just refer you to him, but I would like to add that straight or gay, your marriage is as valid and as special as you make it, based on what you put into it and how you treat the person you are married to. That’s what matters.
