Lost

One day I took some time away from home. I was flying in a hot air balloon and realized I was lost. I reduced height and spotted a man down below. I lowered the balloon further and shouted, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"

The man below said, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."

"You must be an engineer," I said.

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," I replied,, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's of absolutely no use to anyone."

The man below said, "You must be in management."

"I am," I shouted down from my balloon, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
