Doing a LOL at work

As we all know, LOL is a bit overused these days on the web and related parts of the internet. Just Google for "LOL Inflation" and you'll get about half a million hits. In fact LOL is so overused that it is almost meaningless. However in real life it is still possible to laugh out loud. And one of my colleagues just did.

Picture this: Your sitting at work in a large open office space without any noise reduction measures. It is just after lunch and all the talk has quite down with people focussing on their immediate task, like wilfing. Suddenly, someone burst out in a real LOL session. And first thing you see is lots of angry glances being thrown at the source of the laughter. Perhaps we here are feeling too important to be disturbed by laughter?

The second thing most of us wanted to know was the source of the laughter, so we were treated on a very stupid blonde joke. I guess you'd have to have been there.

However the main thing I took away from this is that it is not really appreciated to LOLAW .
