Aww, we have kittens named Bertie and Jeeves, too! Here they are. Note the PERFECT COLORING!!! Jeeves is wearing his uniform and Bertie is in his brown harris tweed:
Also, my nails are pink and look preeeeeeetty. 
Awwww! They are so kyewwwwt! And their colours *are* perfect!
I'm beginning to realise that my Jeeves is a psychopath. I was stroking Wooster the other day when Jeeves ran up, munched my hand hard enough to draw blood and ran away again.
Bad rodent valet. Bad, bad.

Hamsters can be so rude! I mean, they spend 40% of their time pooping in people's hands. We used to put ours on toy boats in the bathtub so they could go on cruises.

Come on people, share some lovely stories!
For example: my drawer and BOTH types of coupons balanced perfectly TWO days in a row. I am the most accurate cashier in aaaaallllll of the grocery store. At the moment, anyway. Summer jobs are freaking amazing. I've also fulfilled my lifelong dream of working in an air-conditioned building. 
ETA: I also doubled coupons today without f-ing up; remembered the codes for tomatoes (4087), bananas (4011), kiwi (4030), broccoli crowns (4548), cherries (4045), asparagus (4048), avocados (4046), green peppers (4065), and vidalia onions (4159); and only called a manager for help three times! I hate being new. Luckily, if you straighten your hair and smile a lot, people tend not to be too impatient.

Lol, congrats on your expert cashiering, Katrina! 
*Seethes quietly with envy* LOL - I am the WORST cashier in alllll of the bingo hall! Last week I was over £8 down. Which in the end didn't seem so horrendous, as my awful calculation at first indicated that I was £308 down. I drop everything I pick up. Prize envelopes, pound coins, coin trays, receipts - you name it, I drop it.
When I emerge from the cashbox I invariably look like I've been dragged through a henge backwards.

Sorry for the double-post - but I must point out that I meant 'dragged through a hedge backwards.' Not a henge.
Lord.
To be dragged backwards through an historically fascinating yet mystifying arrangement of stones sacred to the Druids.
That WOULD be horrendous.

I wouldn't worry about the cash not being right, or dropping stuff all the time; I'm the lowest of the store management team where I work, but I still deal with far more idiotic mistakes from my staff. Usually it's things like ripping through the barcode on a voucher or refunding something that shouldn't have been, but they do have more epic failures - like a staff member who spent half an hour today hunting for something that was right in front of her!!
I have my moments too - today I was gap-checking (looking to see what stock we're missing) and I scanned an item, the computer said we had 16, but I saw none - it took me 5 very confused minutes to remember I'd personally moved them to another display a while back!!

Not really lovely, but it shows how stupid I am, and it made me lol:
I closed for the first time at the grocery store the other night. The manager was showing me how to count the various newspapers we had left to see how many we'd sold that day. I was like, "Oh, I count them so someone can recount them tomorrow morning and see if any have been stolen," not realizing at the time that NEW PAPERS COME OUT EVERY DAY. Idiot.

Whilst I'm tearing my hair out waiting for the new episode of House: MD to become available to download on iTunes (three and a quarter hours... I can do it. I can do it), I thought I'd distract myself
