1.10 Misunderstood

I've learned my lesson. Today I'm taking a shower before work.

It's a day like any other. I chat a bit with my co-workers and again, I can't keep myself from imagining what it would be like to kiss Patrizio Monty. But Gloria, a small voice in the back of my mind chides me, He's married and has two children! 

Despite my distracted thoughts, I get offered the position of a medical intern and I gladly accept this promotion.

After work, still wearing my old paramedic jumpsuit, I walk past the large pool towards the Mucho Expresso Café. I heard that it was recently converted into a bar, but when I arrive, the place is dead. This is not what I came for! I wanted to visit the hot spots of nightlife, not a place that's completely empty.

So I head over to the Worries and Woes Country Pub once more. As expected, it's a hot spot again. Well, that's one out of five, I think to myself.

I order a drink and I'm surprised at how yummy it is. I briefly consider trying to learn the mixology skill for myself, but I already have too many important goals on my mind to add this to the list.

I enjoyed playing darts the other night, so I go upstairs for another game.

 I call a taxi, but I'm not ready to go home yet.

 It's been too long since I last worked on my book, so I spend some time at the library, completely absorbed in my imaginary world.

Once my back aches and I am thoroughly exhausted, I decide to read a little.

 However, it's getting late. Much like the other patrons, I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open, so I head home.

When I arrive, I take a glance at my phone and notice a text message from my boss, Erika Lin: If you're not going to answer my calls, I'm not going to consider you a friend anymore.  

What?! I am in shock. Did Erika call me while I was working on my book? But I seriously didn't even notice! I'm so incredibly tired, feeling like crap after a long day, and then I receive this passive-aggressive text message... This just isn't fair. I feel terribly misunderstood and lonely.

Feeling devastated, I crawl into bed.

Gloria is the first sim I've ever payed with that has the Brooding trait. When she lost Erika as a friend (from neglect), her social bar immediately dropped to the very bottom (despite being a loner!) and she got the "misunderstood" and then the "needs to brood" moodlets. Along with the "lonely" moodlet, of course. Well, maybe now she'll want to socialize!
