Haven't felt like posting much since very nearly had panic attack last week. Some of the companies clients haven't been paying them promptly, so they in turn haven't been paying us (well atleast us contractors) regularly. Luckily the note sent about not working if no money resulted in us cell site folk getting some checks sent. I just refuse to keep pulling from my savings to pay for gas and related work expenses when they aren't paying people on a regular basis. Hopefully the economy has gotten its kick in the but so our clients can be better at paying, and will be more work around. I generally like the job when getting paid- sometimes paid to be a tourist, work from home and minimal human contact
BBCAmerica launched its HD channel, and it was supposed to be a happy tv time. Except they had no contracts with any cable or satellite companies to carry the thing before hand, so no shiny hd sci fi shows for anyone. Been checking twitter and the BBCAmerica boards and none of the major carriers have it, and reports that none do. Big, Major Fail, especially since the pushed Torchweek probably one of their top viewed shows. I'm doing a twitter campaign, but need to wrangle Dad into calling since its under his name. I've been waiting for this HD channel since first started teasing for it 2 years ago.
I need a new way to write up legacies. Doing updates is a chore and boring, and when I remember to take pictures, it just feels like a succession of birthdays, promotions, mixed with deaths and the hey new stuff! Just need to figure how to do a sort of minimalist update with as few pictures as necessary, otherwise I'll just post a tree and the sims for download. Maybe once something is done where the active family will initiate the early romantic behaviors autonomously it will be more interesting for me to write up, but not now. Playing is just funner, and trying out all the new things. Mad Scientists are awesome. Though I think at some point I'll go back and do a pixel trade in 2, because I don't think it would work as well in Sims 3, since you would have to repopulate each generation, unless you just initially populated the town with pixel trade sims, and used descendants
That's all for this bat time. Have to get some work done so can be back to take tigger for a check up.
