We have this thing about naming equipment in the office.
The printer/copier/fax is called Diablo II or Spawn of Diablo. It's a cranky machine that responds well to voodoo offerings like shiny pennies, red ribbons, and chicken bones. It is not nearly as troublesome as Diablo I.
Then there's Willis, a printer that constantly complains it is out of paper when it isn't, and gives other erroneous error messages. leading us to say "whachoo talkin' bout?".
Squeaky (another printer. I think this one is obvious).
The Works (the printer that always works. Well, almost.)
The Nommminator is our shredder. (Omnomnomnomnommm!)
We have 3 new laptops now, and I am trying to think of names for them. I guess it's like naming kittens, though - you have to give it some time for their personalities to emerge. But I am open to suggestions.
Anyone else do this with office equipment? Or are we just really weird?
