    Gary is in a hot air ballon and realized he was lost.He reduced altitude and spotted me 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 don't know where I am." I replied,"You are in a hot air ballon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground.You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be in information technology," said Gary."I am,"I replied,"how did you know?" "Well answered Gary,"everything you told me is probably technically correct,but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is,I'm still lost.Frankly,you've not been much help at all.If anything,you've delayed my trip." I responded,"You must be in management." "I am,"replied Gary,"But how did you know?" "Well," I said,"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 exactly in the same position you were in before we met,but now,somehow,it's my fault."
