    So I've had an email from someone who says they are a Business Analyst within our organisation asking for a diagram to do with the systems I work on. I sent him what he needed. He replied to say that is not what he wanted. Now I have sent him exactly what he asked for. Just waiting for him to realise it is of no use to him at all.

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

    Sounds like an old Management-IT story I heard, it goes something like this. Man #1 is walking along the desert. Man #2 appears overhead in a hot air balloon. Man #2 calls down to man #1 asking "Where am I?" Man #1 calls up to man #2 replying "You are in a balloon, about 50 feet above the ground." Man #2 calls down "You must be in IT, the answer you gave me is correct but of no use to me." Man #1 calls up "You must be in Management. You ask a vague question, and blame others when the answer is not what you wanted."
