Zhaun stayed in his closet today

Despite what I've said in the past I really wouldn't want to be the ICM full time. Even with dairy stuff to do I ran out of stuff to do. Imagine if I didn't have dairy stuff to take care of. I didn't go home early though, I did other stuff. Helped that Zhaun was sick today, I did his shelf reviews. Didn't help that Zhaun was sick today, though, because I wanted to ask him about my schedule. Why am I working 11-7 on Wednesday if John's working 12-8? I was going to ask if I could do 6-2 or if he wanted me to train him or something. When I told Victor Zhaun was sick he was all, "Aww, did his wife beat him that bad?" hehe He's come to work before bearing bruises she gave him. He works 6 days a week and the only time he's missed any work has been when he had his ulcer over a year ago. So he must be really down.

I was so cold and I'm so tired. For some reason my knee was really hurting earlier. My legs just don't like being still for so long like that. In dairy I'm rushing all over, kneeling, bending, moving. Every time Bonnie goes on vacation I truly enjoy filling milk on my first day back in dairy. And then customers remind me why I hate my job so much.

And like Tim told me, at least trying to find things to do to get in 8 hours is better than the 9-10 hour days I work in dairy.

Last night I went back to playing Sims 3, actually playing, not just building houses. I played... Jennifer?? I think that's what I named her. She's all gothic and artsy. But she was sucking at home decorating so she changed her job and is now a stylist. I like it so far. But her boss died. I should have known something was up when I saw a pregnant sim. I forgot to turn off story progression and aging. grr... What if my sim had hit middle age? I'd have had to start all over! I had to once already because when I first made her I spent over an hour making a teenager by mistake and then had to start over making a young adult. Because you choose personality traits and I guess it only lets you pick three (four?) for teenagers and the last one is randomly chosen when you get to young adult and I didn't want that. Sure you can save up achievement awards and change your traits but that's too much work. As it is I'm saving up 10,000 to change her lifetime goal. Her goal was to become the best house designer something. Not sure what direction I want to take her in. She's been inventing a little, mainly painting, she's been fiddling with a guitar, I might make her start writing. She's anti-social, neurotic, and dramatic. :D And I have mods on her. She's got a blue scarf in her hair and fingerless elbow gloves that lace up. I made her when the Ambitions pack came out. I was ecstatic when that came out cause my other Sim, Elizabeth, is dating a firefighter which is great because now if they end up married he can keep his job.

Can't wait for Sims Medieval! I'm going to pre-order it so I get the bonus items. Three throne rooms and two clothes.

I've also been getting yearnings to play Sims Societies. The last city I made on that was awesome. It was all authoritarian and stuff. Glory to The Mayor. Like there's soup kitchens that make you watch videos about how great The Mayor is. And my people are all down-trodden and neutral. And whenever some of my sims get either unhappy or happy I have squads I can send out squads to drag those sims in and make them neutral again. The pretty gazebo is "picturesque for public hangings". The wedding chapel is for people who have been given permits to marry. There's amphitheaters that show videos on how and why The Mayor is great. There's schools that teach kids the Glory of The Mayor. Museums that only show works of The Mayor. Churches of The State. Security cameras on every street corner. Apartment buildings that offer slight brainwashing. All sorts of great stuff. My computer couldn't handle the industrial wasteland city I made. Too much smog, my video card didn't like it. I tried to make a country town once but got bored. Tried to make a romantic eco friendly place but I think I got bored with that too, though I might resume that sometime. I made a really neat intelligent city with libraries, schools, and parks everywhere. I might play that one again sometime too.

Victor's out in the livingroom playing Contra again so I'll probably head out there and read. I don't like being in a different room than him. At least not for long.
