Bullshit Bingo - a drabble

Bullshit Bingo
***********
E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: silo
Warnings: none
Summary: It’s a terrible life when you are Dean Smith, marketing manager extraordinaire, and something is distracting you from your true mission …

***********

The red dot from Dean’s laser pointer dances across the screen. This is his first marketing presentation for the Sandover Board yet he’s struggling to focus.

“Yeah, so. We should concentrate primarily on breaking down the silos between departments…”

He can't understand why the laser-dot is triggering vague memories - weird talk about mandroids (WTH?), and feelings of sadness and failure.

“…blue-sky thinking…helicopter view…blah blah blah…”

Yesterday, this job had been the most important thing in Dean Smith’s world. Now, all he can think about is the way that tall dude in the elevator had looked right into his soul.
