One day I will stand proud and will say my piece, and woe betide anyone who didn't reply.
What does it mean to be 50, what do people make of us white 50 year old men? Is IT beyond me? I think it probably is.

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.

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.
