I'M ABOUT TO BEGIN WHAT COULD BE THE MOST EVENTFUL FOUR WEEKS OF MY LIFE SO FAR

I'll be turning 50 years old, I'll be joining the Quarter Century Club at work and I'll be getting married.

Oh do I ever want to savour every minute, luxuriating in celebrations of the wonderful life I've cobbled together in spite of having been a complete loser for the first twenty years of it.

And I want the fuss to be over with already. Ironically, while I'm an attention whore, I'm all queasy inside when I'm at the centre of it.

But if I've ever learned anything about the human condition it's that we have to allow for the contradictions in ourselves. No one is just one thing.

Celebrations start this evening. Happy Tank.

Celebrate every second, Happy Tank. Even when these four weeks are over.

Happy Matt celebrates you.

I notice you joined the Quarter Century club at work. Hmmm ... you weren't possibly employed by a company whose name begins with the letter G, has seven letters in the main name and one of those letters is a Z?

@ David: No.
I've since spent three months on strike from my Quarter Century employer. Not feeling so proud of them these days.
