What is Management----Awesome
A team of young budding Managers were given an assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So the Managers discussed and put up a project plan with roles and responsibilities. The manager who was responsible for organizing the resources went out and got a ladder and a tape.
The tape measure was just the ordinary tape of 6 feet.
The lead manager assigned another manager to go on top of the pole and start the measure. They were falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures -the whole thing was just a mess.
An Engineer came along and saw what they' were trying to do. He walked over pulled the flagpole out of the ground, laid it flat, measured it from end to end, gave the measurement to one of the managers and walked away.
After the Engineer went away, one manager turns head to another and laughs."Isn't that just like an engineer! We're looking for height and he gives the length"
Moral: No matter how good engineer you are, Managers always find fault in you 
Finally you are coming???
Same managers every where...

that was cool: burnout and quddus, it gave me something to smile about.
happy heart
drive safe because someone is waiting for you at home
well, I would have done it this way:
take the length of the shade of the pole on the ground assuming the ground is level, wait a certain time then remeasure.
time elapsed, angular displacement of the sun, distances, a little geometry and you get the answer.
if I have had a my normal daily dose of coffee then I'd do the following instead:
I'll still measure the length of the shade of the pole.
I'll put up a stick with length known next to the pole and measure the length of its shade and use the ratio to find the length of the pole.
mind you it all depends on my getting my daily dose o coffee properly. :)))
oh! the managers? they'll give me hell asking me for an explanation on where all that coffee went. But seriously, how do you explain this to a manager? tell me.
Burnout.
Beware! :)
