Engineer vs Manager

Hi All,

One NICE story...you might like it too.....layannnnnnn
Engineer  =  Technical person...

Once upon a time, a man in a hot air balloon realized that he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted
a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted.

"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but
I dont know where I am."
...
The woman below replied. "You're in a hot air ballon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground.
You're between 50 and 51 degrees north latitude and between 114 and 115 degrees west longitude.

"You must be an engineer, "said the ballonist.
"I am." replied the woman. "How did you know?"
"Well, "answered the ballonist, everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to
make use of your information. The fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all.
If anything, you've delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, but how did you know?"
"Well, said the woman, you don't know where you are or where you're going.
You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect
people beneath you to solve your problems.
The fact is, you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met,
but now, somehow, you've managed to make it my fault!!!."
