Out of office

This came back from a senior individual in a Government Department Jessica emailed last week. It is the best antedote to the mealy mouthed redundancy condolences some departing public servants are facing as they lose their jobs I have come across. It is annonymised to protect those mentioned in it who remain…..

“Greetings Earthling. I have now left the Department for Golgafrincham. Your message has been eaten by the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal and will not therefore be dealt with. If you need an answer to the problems in your life, may I recommend the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – the most popular reference tome ever to emerge from the great publishing houses of Ursa Minor.

Have a great life. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Phil

PS. If your enquiry is less existential, for example if it concerns national xyz you could try speaking to abc and thereafter to def, either of whom could talk all four legs off an Arcturian Megadonkey
