There's a 'water feature' at work. It's beautiful, and placid, but it just sort of sits there. Occasionally they'll put large colored balls in there. I understand it's meant to be relaxing and meditative, and I appreciate that. But sometimes it seems it *could* be more interactive.

So I ran through it. One of my coworkers, let's call him J, used my phone to take video of it. Unfortunately, the video player here disagrees about the angle it should be at. Tragedy.


J said that, due to the light on the screen, he couldn't be certain he'd gotten it. He offered to use his phone, which had a better screen, just to be sure. I'm not actually certain if he really wasn't sure or if he just wanted to see me run through the fountain again, but he's a great guy, and if I was willing to do it once, why not twice to cheer up a friend?


I thanked him, and he said this was exactly what he needed. I walked with my wet pants and soaked boots back to my desk to grab something before I went home, trying all the while not to cackle too loudly.
