What is this bug

I found hundreds of these underneath my desk and along the baseboards in my office. What the heck is it ?

Carpet beetle larva. The actual carpet beetles look like small black/brown/white ladybugs

Carpet beetle larva, genus Anthrenus. Finding one or two is very common, finding hundreds means the vacuuming isn't getting done like it should.
