3. Your boss gives you a "talking to" for being tardy to the party.
Pretend like you just buried your BFF in the sand.
4. Oh shoot. You accidentally looked down at your feet and saw that they're in socks and shoes and NOT buried in the sand.
Pretend like you're standing at the spot where the water meets the sand, and your feet are sinking deeper and deeper into the mud.
5. You completely forgot you had a 10:30 client call, and you're NOT prepared!
