A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost.
He reduces his 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 engineering", 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 of absolutely no use to anyone!"

The man below says, "You must be a manager!"

"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.  And, you're
in exactly the same position  you were in before we met, but now
it's my fault!"
