I understand that if you are going to have a business you must treat it like one and not a hubby I totally get that. I've worked for two businesses in SL and it was fun I really enjoyed interacting with the people and the whole atmosphere. I worked as a Hostess at a club they had a live DJ and they all played House music and it was to fun. Now here is the problem with that place, I signed myself to work 2 days but the day before my computers crash and I wasn't able to log on, My husband was able to fix the computers mid week. I checked my e-mail and what they did fired me. I logged on and explain to them what happen and the manger was like yeah but you didn
't show up and we had to replace you in the last minute. I was like DUH computer crash means I can't do anything on my computers. A guest complains about something and in SL some people are over sensitive Not many are like that but you get those few. Do think I get IM telling me the complaint NO, is everything is okay? I say yeah . why? and that when i get a response. All their staff meetings are mandatory and you actually get consequences for missing even though you may have a legitimate real life issue going on.

Second place oh this place is awesome it's at a wonderful ski resort the people are nice and so is the staff. It's wonderful right? It was until one of the mangers scheduled me in for a day without telling me and the week before kept making the mistake of giving my shifts to other people. I got fired for not showing up to a shift I hda no clue about! Wow you think?

My question to mylotters who play the game do you find some business owners expect to much from you and pay you so little? Do you think that they are so wrapped up in SL that they don't realize that Real things happen in the real world? Do you think many of them don't have a healthy balance between SL and Real life? those who don't play the game feel free to weigh

I don't get the whole SL thing. Or WOW or other role playing games that people get so wrapped up in. I realize they're exciting and novel and just like living another life but then why not get off the computer and live such a life for real?

It wasn't fair for your boss to fire you from that job. That's like saying well, the business burned down but I'm going to fire you because you didn't show up even though there was no building to work in! lol

To be honest with you when I play these games to me am playing a character; they have different background histories and personalities, and some have a little bit of my personality and it's sometimes it's way off. I like writing so when I play these characters it's like they give me inspiration to write stories. But many other people who play these types of games use to to escape reality or the character they create is an extension of themselves, With SL I was into the game to earn money and I have, but your are so right LOL how could I be fired and not even know I had to work. Your example, made me crack up LOL.
