Today is a day for telling the truth. There is something very rancid and insidious living here at THT headquaters. And that something is called the lamp in my office space according to Carlos.
Carlos who is our graphic designer has accused the lamp in my office space of being "corporate" and has declared that I too am becoming corporate.

Here's how it went down....
I needed a lamp for my office space. A co-worker and I went to the store and just picked one out and bought it. I came back and put it together and placed it in my office. The whole thing was so innocent and unassuming. Carlos took one look at the lamp and told me it was really "corporate" and then informed me that I was becoming "Corporate". Can you image how shocked and confused I was! He claims he has worked in big offices before and that my lamp is corporate Americas premier choice for inner office illumination.
So I got really defensive and then I started to obsesses, then I tried to turn it around and accuse Carlos of being corporate then I stared at the lamp until my left eye wouldn't stop twitching then I got distracted, ate a Crispy Cat I found in my desk and forgot all about it.

I've tried to offset the lamp with extra art work and clutter. But still the accusation stands. Carlos won't back down, and my boss would be upset if I threw the lamp away and got another one on the company credit card. It looks like I am in quite a pickle. Stay tuned for more updates.

Tomorrow I will recount the incident I witnessed in my back yard between a blue Jay and a chipmunk. Also secrets about Carlos will be revealed.......
