A desk lamp doesn't provide the same spectrum of light as the sun, so you should actually look for plants that do well with little light. I recommend a philodendron. They are very hardy, they do well in low-light conditions, and they are extremely forgiving if you forget to water them.

Peace Lily
Wandering Jew
English Ivy
All three of these grow well indoors. Just make sure not to overwater. Test by checking with your finger each week. If the top is not completely dry, do not water.
Good luck

I'd go with the Pothos. Its hard to kill them. If taken care of properly it will grow into the next cubicle.

Ivys do well and are forgetful for a while if you forget to water them. They usually require you to water them weekly. But if you forgot to water or was on vacation and came back, the plant would look green yet limp, once watered it would spring right back up.

"Corn plants" (Dracaena fragrans `Massangeana') do very well in offices as they prefer low light. They prefer existing light or room light; they actually don't like to get sunlight.
"Corn plants" are not actual corn plants; their leaves resemble corn leaves (http://www.cohlmia.com/images/corn.plant.jpg, http://www.botanicus.com/images/plants/l-d-mass5432.JPG). You can purchase small, medium, or large plants.
Read about the care of "corn plants" at http://www.ext.vt.edu/departments/envirohort/factsheets/pottedplants/cornplnt.html
I had a corn plant. My cats destroyed it. Corn plants are tough, but they're not tougher than my cats.

Potted Sansieveria would be ok. Just look for the small varieties like (Hanii). They can also stand neglect.
