I assumed the purchase went like this:
Someone in the procurement office sent an email stating: "The financial year is coming to a close. I see that your office has a budget of $31,000 left for the fiscal year. If you don't use up the entire budget this year, your budget will shrink next year."
Someone in Carson's office: "Oh, shit, looks like we have to spend a bunch of money quick or else our budget next year will be smaller."
Someone else in Carson's office: "We don't need any new photocopy machines, TVs for the waiting room, or subscriptions to new periodicals. Any idea what we can spend the money on?"
First person from Carson's office: "Hey, let's flip through this catalog of expensive office furniture. There has to be something that will take a bite out of our budget. Someone ring Mrs. Carson and let her decide. After all, we can't lose that money."
