Another Semester Gone

crossover_chickSince I really didn't play Sims yesterday except to see what was up with the picture, I decided to break schedule and play today. Played the Mortes to catch them up to their friends the Von Brauns. Arazel finished her term paper for that semester, and John was able to influence his friend Kitty to do his. John has made friends with Delilah O'Feefe, and Marion declared her major as Economics (it was a want of hers). John tried out yoga to earn a necessary body point:
-M: *grin* They fall down a lot, don't they?-
When they first start. Once they master it, however, they're pretty much good to go. He got his body point anyway. John and Kitty also made best friends:
And, of course, I had to throw another toga party, with the Von Brauns and Delilah O'Feefe. John lives off of parties. I get the feeling he's gonna love Nightlife. :p And, of course, he's very good at giving them -- I didn't even "rent" anything for this one. A few games of red hands, a couple of shared jokes, and they were set with their Roof Raiser.
After the party, I made sure everyone had their grade bar filled to the top. I had them get some sleep, then greened them and put them in a meditation session. Everyone got a nice A+, and I also got them a Money Tree to see if it can help with Marion's wants. Also, Arazel can float while meditating now.
Only one more semester for them, then it's off to Twin Oaks Park.
-D: What about Emily, Holly, and myself?-
Emily will throw a graduation party -- don't know if that means you'll all be growing up or just her, but it allows you guys one last fling. Then it's back home -- Doc and Holly will get their house together, Emily may move back in with Mom and Dad Von Braun -- saves on Lots and all that. I plan for her and Sabastian to get engaged and start makin' babies.
-VD: In our worlds, Emily only has the one daughter, Harriet.-
I know, but I'd really like for her to get to permanent platinum -- and with her new Lifetime Want, that means 3 kids.
-M: Why reroll them, anyway?-
Simply put, I wanted them in the careers I sent them to college for. Holly now wants to max out all of her skills (a fine goal), and Emily wants to graduate 3 kids from college. I, of course, kept Emmett with his Become Mad Scientist LTW.
Had an okay day at work -- just busy enough to make the time go by quickly, but not busy enough to make me wish for a dead time. I did get a bit of customer suckiness. A man came in around noon with 3 pairs of pants. One he wants rehemmed on the cuff, the other two he simply wants cleaned and all that. I say fine, and I make up the slips. As I make them up, he tells me he needs them all for Saturday. I know I can do that with the two "clean" pants, but the "alteration" pants I'm not so sure on. I ask Bonnie -- nope, no rushes on alterations. He gets upset and says he'll take the pants back and have his wife do it. Okay, I try to hand the pants back to him:
He gets snippy with me and says "No, I want them cleaned as well!"
I'm a little annoyed by this point, and I go to put these pants onto his other slip. He complains about us being slow and how we should have same day service (apparently we advertise this, although I've never seen this advertizement myself). I explain about our tailor being in the East Greenwich store, so we have to send stuff out. He seems minorly appeased by that.
I print out the new slip for his pants. He gets a little confused about the slips he currently has. Our computer prints out two slips -- a small "claim" slip for customers, and a big slip for us, listing the items. If we reprint something, however, we only get the big slip. I try to explain that one of the small slips corresponds to the big slip, just that the number of items is a little off, and that he can give me the other slip to throw away. He doesn't seem to get it, so I print off another big slip, give that to him, and finally manage to explain to him that he just needs to bring in the slip and that we can get him his stuff. He just seemed nasty.
Best part? Guy was a minister. Man of the cloth.
-D: . . . .-
Yeah. He was in yesterday too, with some sort of garment they wear in church -- he told me exactly what they were, and even spelled it. Of course, I wasn't sure what to put them under for laundry, so I got Bonnie -- he repeated the dealie for her. We ended up putting them under lab coats.
-VD2: *ears perk up* You people do lab coats?-
We send them out to laundry, yes. Why?
-VD: *holds up stained labcoats* Laboratory work has its risks.-
LoL. I'll see what I can do.
-OD: *tentacles poke* Finish that picture.-
I will, I will! I have to write something first though.
-D: *nodnod* She's an author first, not an illustrator.-
-OD: I'm aware of that. But I and my friends are the fan art muses, so our loyalties lie with the sketchpad and not the notebooks.-
*giggle*

Did he think that you would just take the pants into the back room, wave a magic wand over them and recite an incantation and, Presto, they're mended? Yeah, they take time anyway, if you want a quality job. Even hemming something can take a little while, because you have to be careful not to make the hem uneven. He might be a man of the cloth, but he is also a man of very little common sense.
