Welcome, Fred!
This is my first post from my new work computer. I love him already. His name is Fred. Yes, I gave him that name myself. I even made him a sign that says, “Hi, I’m Fred! Nice to meet you!”
No, I’m not surprised that my coworkers stop talking when I enter the room. No, those surreptitious glances don’t surprise me, either.

Yes, but our computers only have names like “Refstaff01.” They wouldn’t put it into the actual network with the name “Fred.” Which is why I had to make him a sign.

Adriene’s computer is also named Fred. My computer is named Petra. Adriene has named the new desktop, but I don’t remember the name.

When I lived in an apartment with some friends, we named the plants in the living room. One was Speak and the other was The Dutchess.
We stole the names from The Tick.

Sadly enough, we don’t have that book in my library.
