Sims question

For those on my flist who play Sims2.
My maid is disturbing me.
He alternates pacing on the patio, pacing in the bathroom and sobbing into his hands. I cannot interact with him, and I don't see any distress bubbles over his head. I can't call the service and fire him, and so if he dies of hunger I'm going to have to clean the house myself. Of course, at this point I'm cleaning the house myself anyway since he won't do any actual cleaning.
I'm also not certain if I've seen the gardener in a few days.
What have I done/should I do?

EDIT: Well, he's gone to be with Jesus. But I'm still curious.

Life in the Fast Lane

Ah, my whirlwind weekend.
Last night--marathon session of Sims 2.
Up around noonish.
Today--opening .ogg files into .au and then reformatting to .mp3

Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam

We have this perfectly good '1' and we're never going to get to use it.
