engineers and managers

Engineers and  Managers !
-----------------------------------------

A man is flying a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces
height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and
shouts, "Excuse me. Can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet
him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below says, "Yes, You are in a hot air balloon, hovering
approximately 30 feet above this field.  You are between 40 and 42
degrees N. Latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude".

"You must be an engineer," says the balloonist.

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

"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically
correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the
fact is I am still lost."

The man below says, "You must be a manager." "I am," replies the
balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," says the man below, "you don't know where you are, or where you
are going, You have made a promise which you have no idea how to
keep,and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in
exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now it is
somehow my fault."
