Today
I???m Thomas, the Taco Elf. I am currently living in the South Pole, and I hate it here. I can never go back. I was exiled here by Santa Claus himself. He was the one who sent me to the forest, and it was blamed on me when I returned. I wasn???t always known as the Taco Elf. I???m about to tell you why this happened and why I was exiled here.
The Past
I???m sitting making a complex racecar when all of the sudden Victoria bursts in and says ???It???s time for your break!???. I go to my cubicle, get my break snack, eat it, and got back to work. I finish the racecar when I get back and proceed to make some toy horses (ugh My Little Pony, kids these days pshh) and dolls. When the day is almost over I see a curious request, a taco.

I know now that I???m doomed; Santa only comes down here when elves do terrible in their fields of work. ???The doll wasn???t bad enough to be humiliated in front of Santa was it???? I think.
???Thomas, you do know why you???re here I am correct???? Santa says,
I nod my head as he hands me an official looking piece of paper. ???This is it??? I think, ???I really loved working with Santa??????, but when I open it I see I???ve been promoted to the head of T17, my toy making unit. I faint.
The next day, I go to the toy making department to find I have a new office. I???m told I am the head of T17, the biggest and most important unit. I walk to my new office to find a normal looking office in the window. I open the door and step in; it is perha
