An Amarillo Mystery – There is What in a Box Under My Desk?

Join us any Monday morning here at Townsquare Media in Amarillo and you will have a laugh or two. Especially when it comes to some of our meetings. Early in the week we have one such meeting that we try to come up with story ideas.

We call stories that are written on the board. We come up with our own ideas and let our co-workers know not to touch that topic. These meetings can be fun and can get intense. Sometimes we delve into some really weird topics.

One such topic was about skinks. What is a skink? Where can you find skinks? When this topic was being discussed I was answering important texts or having a side conversation with someone in the room. All I remember hearing is that Melissa has one under her desk.

That brought me back to the moment. What were they talking about? Seems they were talking about the box that late last year I discovered a dead lizard under my desk. I still have it there. I want to see how long before this lizard decomposes. I feel that it never will.

I actually joked that I wanted to buy a burger from McDonalds and place it in that box too and see which one changes form first.

So apparently skinks, back to what I was supposed to write about this week. Can only be found in Texas. They are lizards. They have short legs. Yep, this dead creature had short legs.

They are found only in Texas, which I found interesting. It doesn't solve my mystery. I don't know when it climbed into that box under my desk. I don't know where it came from. I don't even know how long it has actually been there. I just know it is going to stay there until I leave this building.
