Small Places : Nick L Belardes [75 of 128]

• "Why do I seem to do it all?" Milt barks. I make no comment. I'm not going to talk. Besides, everyone is speechless.
• I sense Joan is about to scream a war cry. I step hard on her foot. I step harder because I don't think she felt it.
• Milt starts to mumble. This is the cosmic moment where even corporations are suddenly bad movie experiences. Vishnu actually looks awake.
• Vishnu, the Web guru of all things. He must have a delete button for this surreal meeting,
• or at least some kind of anti-virus garlic necklace. Mike knows it’s not him. He always watching Survivor and
• knows how to make his corporate life live to the last man.
• Mulani runs everything in the department and gets paid a tenth of Milt’s enormous salary. She’s safe.
• Joan is expendable simply because she is insane and is a sort of mini-angry version of Milt in a constant state of meltdown.
• Kira de Frito could lose her job but wouldn’t understand whether or not she suddenly got a promotion
• to a Brazilian office on a wireless banana plantation. Sure, it’s egotistical of me to say I’m the soul of this marketing department.
• I guess I wouldn’t blame Buildicon to go soulless. It happens.
