Pike Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I'm off to Slovenia for a few days but thought I would leave this for you! A few Managers were given an assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So the Managers go out to the flagpole with ladders and tape. They're falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures - the whole thing is just a mess. An Engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do, walks over, pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurement to one of the managers and walks away. After the Engineer has gone, one manager turns to another and laughs. "Isn't that just like an engineer! We're looking for height and he gives the length!" Moral: No matter what good you do, Managers can always find fault in you. Take it easy - see you in a week or so Pike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
