What? Avenue Q or Jackson Galaxy Cat from Hell

Avenue Q - I saw the tour, but never saw it on Broadway

It's on Animal Planet. I'm watching it right now. Jackson Galaxy is my hero.

I try to stay away from Animal Planet.

Jackson goes to help people who have cats that attack, mess in the house or whatever bad behavior and he helps the cats and people fix it....usually it's a human issue. He has great advice for humans on how to understand their cats and what they need. Cats that are totally out of control are usually sweethearts by the end

Cillaliz · « **Reply #130 on:** May 17, 2014, 09:21:12 PM »

Of course there is a lot of work done to get there

I wish I would have known these things when Nilla went crazy. I may have been able to get him under control.

So tomorrow I'm going to work in the yard. I'd like to plant some new bushes and get some plants I bought several weeks ago in the ground. I also need to do the laundry

Back from our dress rehearsal, about which more in the notes. Then some of us went to El Cholo, which, I believe, is the oldest Mexican restaurant in LA, located about five minutes from my father's old restaurant. It was fun and the food was excellent, but I still prefer Casa Vega.

Did I mention the encounter I had recently? I was calling practitioners who offer the laser treatments, trying to get a handle on what the treatments would cost and decide who to go to for them. A search turned up a doctor right near me. I called and asked for prices. In return I received this, all of which was asked angrily:

"WHO IS THIS?"
"WHERE ARE YOU CALLING FROM?"
"WHERE DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?"

It was actually rather comical. It was a group of doctors who specialize in pain management. When I was able to speak to someone else, I mentioned the bizarre behavior from the woman who answered the phone. Woman #2 immediately defended her, saying she's young and new to the job. I said she needs to be spoken to and that I had almost hung up. Needless to say, I'm not going there. I have other options, plus if they can't be civil when they answer the phone I certainly don't trust them with a laser!

I cannot fathom how ANYONE would think that this is appropriate business conduct.

How much do you want to bet that that young lady had just been chastised for taking a call and failing to find out the prospective patients name, phone number and referral source.

Now it's time to sleep. It's been a long day and I'm tired.

You're probably right about that

Re the morons,
We must not forget the "out to lunch" crowd. In my experience, these are usually young people--twenty-somethings--who could care less about doing a good job and, indeed, even in their more lucid moments have little idea of what doing a good job entails. They are doing the minimum to get by. If a customer complains in any way, their response is, "WHAT?? You want WHAT?" or some variation thereof. I encounter this quite a lot.

WARNING: PARENTAL BOASTING AHEAD

PROUD MAMA MOMENT; The Vixter was made Employee of the Month - her name was engraved on a brass plate and put up on a plaque in the lobby of the Roadhouse and she was given a lovely engraved plaque and a hat - no monetary tribute unfortunately - but we are all pleased as punch about it.

HERE ENDETH THE BRAGGING

I'm sure DR Singdaw feels worse than I do.

I'm actually feeling a tad bit better today. What I'm not used to is finding I get exhausted quite easily and for no particular reason.

your body is using a lot of energy to heal -- take it easy and get plenty of sleep

Is that show on every Saturday?

I have been very lucky the past few doctor's visits - I was very pleasantly surprised that an 8 PM appointment was available, allowing me to work a full day, come home, eat, shower and get there feeling fresh and relaxed.

Once there I barely had time to give my proof of insurance and ID before I was shown to the examining room and the doctor was at the door and ready to come in as soon as I ad changed into my gown.

My referrals all went through very quickly and this afternoon when I went for the dreaded mammogram and not dreaded bone density I was shown to a women's waiting room where there were comfortable chairs and warm chocolate chip cookies and instead of paper gowns we had spa like bathrobes. The wait there was also short.

It was nice to have such speed of service and pleasant staff considering how unpleasant I find the test -- (which is how I managed to forget it for 7 years....)

I don't find those awful at all. It's the call-backs I don't like.
