correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information. I am still lost. .. .After hearing the balloonists explanations the IT worker responded, Then you must be a manager!

That I am replied the balloonist, but how did you know?

Well, said the IT worker, you dont know where you are, or where youre going. You have a problem and expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were before we met, but now it is somehow my fault.

A MBA and an Engineer go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fell asleep. Some hours later, the Engineer wakes his MBA friend. " Look up at the sky and tell me what you see." The MBA replies, "I see millions of stars." The Engineer asks "What does that tell you?" The MBA ponders for a minute :

MBA With An Engineer

Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.

Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.
