No employee at the stylist station in an actor career

I had the problem, but I was able to work around it. There were other Sims in the household. I transferred control to one of the Sims at the house, then I came back. When it reloaded the studio, the makeup artist spawned at the sidewalk. I wasted so much time trying to figure out what to do, but once the artist was there, the chair worked, and I was able to squeak by a POOR performance for the day. The Sim got chided by the agency.
