Bored bureaucrat begs for million-dollar salvation

A bored Canadian bureaucrat, fed up with office drudgery, is seeking nearly $A1.2 million in donations so he can quit his job and "do something that makes a difference in my life and the lives of others".

The unnamed man, who claims to have worked for a large civil service organisation for over 10 years, has set up a website - saveabureaucrat.com - on which he says he is desperate to escape his job.

"After a while it starts to sap the energy and soul out of you and you realise that you have become a true bureaucrat ... I feel like an old curmudgeon frustrated by having to deal with paper being passed around at a snail's pace," he said on his website.

"Retirement will free up my time for volunteer activities such as tutoring children and counselling people who are going through rough patches in their life. On a daily basis I will be a much more pleasant person to be around."

Despite promising not to spend donations on "Rolls-Royce cars, 10 bedroom houses, airplanes", the bored civil servant has quite a way to go.

As of Wednesday morning, five sympathetic souls had sent in a total of just $A70.71.

All I have to say is "Wow...."

This guy is a complete dumbass, don't send him on single penny, send them to me at www.imlazy.com hahaha

Well unless he signs a legally-binding contract that prohibits him from spending the money on luxuries for himself I doubt that his total will rise very geatly.
