A new Work Week with a look back

When I was in Grade One, Miss Diane Wainwright tied me to my desk chair when I couldn't stay seated for any reasonable time. What can I say, I was energetic. That would have placed my incident onto the list of "inappropriate behaviours" of workplace or related headaches with all their wonkiness and wackiness. The link is to such a list compiled by the G&M.

Madcap moments from the world of work
Some of 2008's zaniest examples of wonkiness in the workplace

A couple of notables?

• A senior London police officer was fired for having sex at the Gatwick Airport railway station while on duty and in uniform. He said he left his earpiece in so he could be contacted in an emergency
• Swedish clergyman Gunnar Svensson was asked to resign after crashing his church's computer system with a virus downloaded as he surfed a hardcore porn website
• A German policewoman forgot her gun in a courthouse washroom during a high-security murder trial involving rival biker gangs
• Two German police officers were mistaken for male strippers when they investigated a complaint about a noisy party. They were mobbed by drunken women urging them to rip their clothes off
• In an effort to curb prostitution, a local government in Indonesia asked masseuses to wear a padlock on their pants
