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.
I need to name my computer.
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.
Fred is a good computer name.
i don’t even have a name for my car. i’m so behind.
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.
there’s a book entitled Welcome To Fred…that is all.
Sadly enough, we don’t have that book in my library.
