one lonely success

redlands apartment banter continues as we consider the now infamous office lamp:

so if you’ve been around for a few months you may recall that my redlands-love-bungalow included a rather

low-hanging light fixture in the office. for the first few weeks, nay a day would pass without me rocking my head against the lamp as i stood up from my desk.

like any trained lab animal, i eventually learned to avoid said lamp by doing a duck-and-hover manuever. this solved my problem until about a week ago.

it was during a 3-way skype phone call to seattle that i raised up and smashed my head like never before. the lamp had enough of this bullshit and managed to free itself from its housing and crashed into a million jagged pieces all around.

while i survived unscathed, the lamp is no more.

oh the humanity.
