doesn't this feel just far too familiar!!!!!!!!!!!
 
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces 
height 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 Information Technology" 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 it's no use to anyone."

 The man below says "you must work in business management."

 "I do" 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 in the same position 
you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
