You got a problem with that?

A man flying in a hot air balloon realizes he is lost. He reduces his altitude and spots a man in a field 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, about 30 feet above this field."

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

"I am. How did you know?"

"Everything you told me is technically correct, but it's of no use to anyone."

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

"I am. But how did you know?"

"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."

Nahhh...I like to think I am one of the types of engineers who gets along with the guys who actually do the work. I worked on the factory floor from age 15 until I was in college, and I still enjoy going out to get my hands dirty. I actually listen to what a more experienced person has to say, and I'm willing to learn from what they are saying. The book is far far from always being right.

Weird, engineers and shop people

[font=&quot]Throw in more experience person has to say. Hmmm, a true engineer would have to call a meeting and then delegate the work. Then form another team on the progress of it and report to a management team. Then on the side make sure all the checks and balances are up to date. When you are finished and in production, ask the shop people if they like it; as if it matters. [/font]
