Ambushed

"The floating dock has floated away. Can you tell S and J to come down and get it back?" -L
"Sure." -me (but I didn't move immediately)
"It's urgent, can you do it now?" -L

So I jump up, and run out of my office, grab S and J and we head down to the beach. No one is there, and the floating dock seems to be in the right place.

"What was L talking about, it's fine..." -me
Which was the moment that 6 counselors jumped out of the bushes, grabbed S by the arms and legs and carried her, screaming, to the dock to throw her in.

That was also the moment I took off running, as fast as I could back towards my office. Except that I wasn't fast enough and also got picked up by the arms and legs, carried to the dock and thrown in. They had the decency to pat me down for a cell phone and take that out of my pocket first.

After spending all morning on the phone and answering emails, a little excitement wasn't completely unwelcome. That being said, IT'S ON. I will get revenge and it will be more creative. Just another typical day at the office...
