Management Verses Technical Support

This is another item that someone added to one of my old blogs a few years ago

Whilst looking for useful information to add to my site http://How2HelpYourself.com 
I thought this was worth a second showing:-

 

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost.
He reduces his altitude and spots a man down below.
He lowers the balloon further and shouts:

“Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?”

The man below says:
“Yes, you re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field.”

“You must work in Technical Support,” says the balloonist.

“I do,” replies the man. “How did you know?”

“Well” says the balloonist,
“everything you have told me is technically correct, but completely useless.”

The man below says: “You must be in management.”

“I am,” replies the balloonist, “but how did you know?”

“Well”, says 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 still in the same position you were before we met,

but now it’s my fault!”

 

Just like the Prison/Work post this was worth a second showing

but again, I have no idea who wrote the piece
