Sounds like a reasonable inference. The "something" here doesn't sound like a pleasant event.

@A106703 how about... comparing to "got involved in ..."??

- English (UK)

@QLiu when one says "I got involved in something today", it means that the person was busy today. The "something" here is neutral. Could be a bad thing or a good thing or some boring stuff.
