| rowspan="4" valign="top" |On his lunch break, <Sim> notices a new antiques store called London Charms opening across the road from her/his office. It occurs to <Sim> that a joint business venture between her/his corporation and a smaller privately owned store might be just what her/his company's looking for, but s/he also notices some trinkets that might be far more valuable than they look. S/He could take her/his lunch hour to shop, or deliver a proposal to her/his boss.

| rowspan="4" valign="top" |<Sim> is playing in the CEO's annual golf tournament at the SimCity Country Club. This prestigious event has been known to make or break many a Sim's career. <Sim>'s foursome includes the President of the company, and s/he's spent a good part of the day discussing with the President his overwhelming desire to win this year's tournament. Unbelievably, coming in to the eighteenth hole, <Sim> and the president are tied for first place, and <Sim>'s not sure what her/his best career move is.

| rowspan="4" valign="top" |<Sim>'s warehouses are reporting a huge overstock of Llarry the Talking Llama. <Sim>, on the advice on her/his sales team, acquired the rights from AlpacaSoft to be SimCity's distributor of the overstuffed talking toy, as the fuzzy llama was projected to be all the rage; but actual sales haven't even come close to expected figures. An opportunity arises to license the toys as the athletic mascot of the SimCity Llamas, but at this point <Sim> wonders if she shouldn't just donate the stupid toys to the SimCity Children's Home and cut her/his losses.

| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Having just purchased two thousand shares in MoneyWell Computers on a tip from her/his broker, <Sim> heads to the corporate water cooler and overhears a conversation about the computer company: apparently, the military is about to award MoneyWell a lucrative contract to provide all of the military's computers for the next ten years, but if MoneyWell fails to get the contract they will be forced to declare bankruptcy and close their doors. <Sim>'s broker assured her/him that her new stock was a sure thing, but now it sounds a bit risky.

| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Microscotch Technologies is looking for a new CEO, and <Sim>'s name appeared on their list of candidates. Though <Sim>'s been happy at his/her current corporation, the thought of possibly becoming a CEO is tempting. After researching Microscotch, <Sim> is impressed with their business record and environmental policy. <Sim> could easily show interest in the position and, with his/her experience, have a good chance of landing it. But loyalty is a powerful asset in the business world, and word would undoubtedly get around that s/he'd gone looking elsewhere.

| rowspan="4" valign="top" |While having a meal with his/her assistant, <Sim> learns that EveryTech Technologies is looking for a new CEO and that <Sim>'s own president is being considered for the position. <Sim> ponders what his/her response to this should be and if s/he'd have enough time to sabotage the president's plans, as a move like this would invariably be bad for business. Then <Sim>'s assistant reminds him/her that the president has been a loyal employee with the company for many years, and has stuck with the company through thick and thin.
