' A man in a hot air balloon, realising he was lost, reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended further and shouted to the woman, " Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I'd meet him an hour ago and I don't know where I am" The woman below answered, " You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and 59 and 60 degrees west longitude" 'You must be in I.T." said the balloonist "Actually I am" replied the woman, "How did you know that?" "Well." answered the balloonist, " Everything you have told me is technically correct but I've no idea what to make of your infomation, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all and now you have delayed my trip further." The woman below replied, "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 and you don't know where you are going. You have risen to where you are by a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you couldn't keep and expect the people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are in exactly the same position that you were before we met, but now, somehow, it's my f***i*g fault!" This sums up a great deal my life in general at the moment, but at least we can do it with a smile! Al.:england:
