Yeah, then it's because you're a CP. Regular transfers do not start until 9:30, so they skip SIM. As for core, I think they make all CPs take it too. My friend was a seasonal performer, worked a shift on saturday when she came back, but still had to go through core starting the following week with the other CPs.
So sorry - the CP rule is from above my head. I do not know why you do not fall into the regular transfer bucket... I guess they think all CPs need a refresher?
At least you were with Katy - she is fantastic!!!
