Green Plant

[halnewcome]

Green Plant is the name of my only officemate. I work from my home. I don't know what kind of plant Green Plant is.

We got Green Plant from the realtor as a house warming gift. He had a tag on him that said "Green Plant" with a picture of him on it. Lisa hated the realtor because she'd had to deal directly with her during the process of buying

I like the idea that Green Plant arrived with a corporate ID when he joined your home office and was allowed to fill out the name field himself. Very earnest, but not exactly bright or original, that Mr. Plant.

I imagine him having a Jimmy Stewart or Jack Lemmon voice. "I'm Green, I tells ya. I think it's a brilliant name."

And,

"Uh, buddy, a little water here? Oooh, Green needs water today, then I can close the Ferguson account!"

Green Plant has resisted all attempts to outfit him with a more imaginative moniker. They slide off him like Teflon.

I try to avoid anthropomorphizing him too much, sticking mostly to straight plant apostrophe. Saying Green Plant is thirsty makes me seem quirky and fun. Saying Mr Plant intends to close the Ferguson account makes me seem like I'm losing my marbles from too little human contact. I like what you've done here but I have to keep a close eye on myself.

I also have pockets of rage left over from my realtor.
