What it’s really like to work for the Canadian government

As the editor of a listserv that is distributed to thousands of people in 75 countries, I get lots of erroneous e-mail. You know, people mistakenly hit reply and send me their shopping list or something like that.

This is no mistake. And is the best I’m-away-automatic-e-mail-response I’ve ever seen. Ah, to be a bureaucrat in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

" I have finally been Paroled after 35 yrs with the Federal Government…and as such will not be accessing this email address EVER again."

Best wishes, Mr. former Canadian government employee. You have been unsubscribed from FSnet. Please feel free to sign up from home.
