POL

Friday's conversation over lunch...

Coworker #1: "Oh, man. That would totally make me LOL."

Me: "I think it would make me POL."

Coworker #2: "POL?"

Me: "Poop out loud."

All: (actually LOL)

Later we had an email exchange regarding a minor issue my coworker said he could fix...

Me: (Referring to the problem I had highlighted in red) "See below in red. Makes me POL."

Coworker: (fixes the issue) "Check it now… we’ll do the email dance"

Me: "Verified as corrected. Danke, sir!"

Coworker: (referring to our work order logging system) "Good to know… but I’ll be working on it for an hour. Put in a track-it, lol"

Me: "I think you mean pol."

Coworker: "Ooh, true story. ROFP" (rolling on the floor pooping)

Me: "Totally PMAO!" (pooping my ass off)

Coworker: "If we combine them to ROFPMAO I might just pee myself."

God, we're geeks. But I love it.

Hey, track-it! IT at my company uses that! I always send stuff that probably doesn't need to be in there, like, "you have two boxes from relogistechs at reception". I figure they can just mark it done and feel a sense of accomplishment.

Also, POL is awesome.

Diz, it's all yours!

SD, they probably laugh at you. Not that you deserve it. It's just what we IT guys do because we're know-it-all assholes.

Aw...thanks, Hedy. *sniffle*

Alie, you know me all too well. You cut off my Dell -> vagina analogy at the ankles.
