You Have to Laugh…
As seen on Slashdot today:
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 be a corporate 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. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault.”
Now you understand why I am so bitter and surly.

There’s a reason why the following sentance often erupts from The Minister’s mouth when describing his job:
Last minute desperate solutions to impossible problems created by other fucking people.
- (tommy lee jones from uhhh some bad movie)
There’s no better way to describe what The Minister does everyday.
When it absolutely has to work the first time, be on budget and oh, by the way you have 2 weeks to finish a 9 month project, you call me(and the folks I work with). If only I didn’t goof off in school… I could have been a developer, work 30 hours a week and have no responsibility….. sigh
