Waiting for Nothing

All it takes is an acknowledgement, just a well mannered email to say that we are still considering your request or idea. Even a Yes or a No - something. Anyone familiar with NLP will know that there is no such thing as no reply, as a no reply is indeed a significant reply in itself. There is no such thing as no communication. This leaves me with a real sense of what did I do wrong or what's the matter with me - at least it could, I am strong enough to actually think, rude bastards, you don't know what you are missing.
One day I will stand proud and will say my piece, and woe betide anyone who didn't reply.

SO...

I am 50, it was my birthday on May 7th 2009 and I have reached that milestone. Now what? Is it 50 and beyond or is it 50 and beyond me? I guess the latter because...

I have more drive at 50 than most of the 20 year olds who work for me.

I know more about computers than anyone in my office yet they all treat me like I listen to a wireless and don't know an wii from a wee or a twit from a tweet.

I also seem to have a capacity for detail over and above almost anyone under 35. This makes me think they are a pain in the arse and makes them think I am an old fart. The fact is they don't seem to care, I do and I am, of course, right.
