This morning I settled into my home office to enter expenses etc. in a
ledger. Emily, my grey feline assistant, padded across the desk to help.
I
turned to answer the phone, forgetting I'd left the rubber stamp-pad
open.
Emily planted her paw in it and made some big black entries all over the
ledger page I was working on. When I discovered this I tried to tally up
the
entries she'd "corrected" so I could restore the figures she'd blotted
out.
It was only then I realized she'd also stepped on the calculator keypad.
I
carried her to the bathroom, washed my fingers, returned to the office
with
a damp cloth, wiped off her inky paw and she strolled away, obviously
pleased with her morning's work.


Awww, what an excellent helper! I am fortunate enough to have 2
office kitties too; Ozzy was particularly helpful today. His
Orangeness loooooved me today because I was wearing black pants and a
black sweater; he jumped up in my lap for a nice snuggle, so that when
a client walked in a few minutes later, I was wearing at least as much
orange fur as he was. Then, while the same client was still there, Oz
went outside and brought in *two* lizards to chase around the office.
That's the kind of help you just can't find every day. :-)

Are you in the investment business? If so, perhaps Ozzy thought the lizards
looked like the geckos in the Geico Insurance Company ads, and was hinting
that your client buy one of their policies!


Those ads crack me up. Maybe it's because of all the geckos in my
dad's patio.

claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.

Release the gecko! (Sorry folks - inside humour from another newsgroup)

Who's considering buying a new wardrobe of all Ozzy-colored clothes

what an excellent helper, first he helps you get ready for the
customers and then provides entertainment

Indeed. For the last couple of days, he has outdone himself in
helpfulness, assisting me in rearranging furniture. Not a piece was
moved but had Ozzy riding on it. It is extremely helpful when moving
a two-ton (so it seemed, I swear) desk from one room to another to
have a fat orange kitty sitting on it all the while.

Heh. No, this is a law office; we are more likely than not to sue the
gecko. Maybe that's what Oz was trying to tell us. ;-)
