Leland Bishop notices suspicious activity on the village green. A woman was "fiddling with the gadget kiosk." then took off with several mp3 players, cells phones and gaming simulators. The security guard, Mr. Bishop said, "I was torn, I wasn't sure if she was the vendor coming to check on the machine or not, but I thought it was odd that she would be taking out more stuff than she put in so I confronted her and it turns out she had been doing the same thing up in simCity for quite a while, usually with big buildings. " Mr. bishop received $500 in reward funds and was promoted to cadet. Simcity Police Chief made this statement. "We need more sim that can think on their feet. Mr. Bishop is just the sort we need to train up to protect our small towns of SimNation. Paramedic Pandemic Ernesto Addario, recently promoted to paramedic decided to drive onthe sidewalk instead of getting out and walking to an emergency. This nearly led to tragic consequences seeing that people were using the sidewalk at the time. According to witnesses he came close to running over an elderly man in a blue jogging suit. Mr. Addario has been fired. Silver Valley Grove is now looking for medical professionals. Looking for Love? Maybe it's a crystal ball away! Silver Grove Valley seems to have a surplus of men, making dating extremely difficult for many young men. The local gypsy woman plies her trade, saying that business is good. Susannah Cage, the director of My Muse Studio was matched with Leland Bishop for a blind date. Susannah described the date as "The best date she's ever been on," and admitted to having a crush on her date before the night was over. Mr. Bishop who asked for the date paid $4000 simoleons for the privilege. "It was worth it all," he said, "I tried the nornal way of doing things but I met hardly anyone, no one I liked and was so tired after with nothing to show for it. this was so much easier i would recommend it to anyone looking for a real relationship." Since then others have used the service such as Raina Romina and Yasmin Lapham. The Gypsy was confident that this was the beginning of a trend. "We expect more business to come out way as time goes on. some sims simply do not want to settle for the sim they know." Announcements: Births/Adoptions none Engagements/Marriages none Immigration/Emmigration none Obituaries none Market Report Zola Masego, the first entrepeneur of Silver Grove gives us some tips on bettering yourself at sales: Smile, you won't feel like it but do it anyway Always greet your customers that way you don't seem rude Stick to the basic sales pitch until you are more proficient, then work on the hard sales pitch if the sucker...I mean customer seems interested. Remember it's your business so you don't have to put up with public fighting, woohoo or water balloons if you don't want to. Keep to these basics and soon you will earn the equivalent of a bronze sales badge simply through your own hard work. I hope this keeps you for some of the worry that the first years of my business gave me.
