Sometimes It's Good to Be the Shaman

Plot:

Why a client is not as saddened as expected by the vet's news that she must put down her cat. Three coworkers admire a "badass" fourth for her largely politically incorrect unapologetic stances. The difference between a man-made lake and a woman-made lake is explained. A woman having a cesarean section and the female nurse discuss the issue of needing to shave down there before the procedure. A customer and a clerk at a tortilla wrap counter differ on the amount of extras to place in the wrap. Someone new to the *Iawasca* meditation experience is negatively affected by the shaman's explanation going into the session. A client feeling totally overwhelmed in her life is given unexpected treatment by her therapist. A reimagining of the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene is presented with modern sensibilities. An assertive girl infiltrates an all-boys pickup basketball game to demonstrate that girls are just as good as boys in the game. A woman hosting a Thanksgiving dinner has a special way to arrange the table seating assignments. And a scientist appears in front of the committee funding his research, he needing not only to justify the scope of his project, which to them seems a little narrow, but some of his selfish activities in the process of carrying it out.
