Ipad
Mifi
Flash drive
And anything else that looks slightly suspicious...

Oh I think it's lovely.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostI have a messenger style leather bag which I bring to ClientCo every day, finally getting a laptop (been here 6 weeks) so working out how to fit everything in, at the moment I have:
- iPad
- A4 Notepad
- A5 Notepad
- A4 Wallet for lose papers
- Assortment of pens
- Headset for Lync
- Headphones for phone
- Case for headphones for phone
- NatWest mobile banking authenticator
- EE Powerbar
- MiFi Device
- stand for MiFi device
- Apple USB Lightening Cable
- Long USB (A to Micro B) cable
- Short USB (A to Micro B) Cable
- Another long USB cable, to charge my wireless headphones I don't bring to ClientCo anymore
- Jawbone Charger (Jawbone is dead but I still have the cable)
- USB Flash drive and lanyard that I forgot to give back to ex-ClientCo
- ID card from last ClientCo that I forgot to give back
- Pack of tissues
- Jar of coffee
- Travel Mug
- Bottle of Sparkling Water
- 2 x Mugshot (pasta based snack that's not a Pot Noodle)
- Spray Breath Freshener
- Contact lens refresher pipette
I am hoping most of this stuff will go into a pedestal whenever I get access to my desk (waiting on clearance to let me into the programme room), but I never realised how much crap I lug around with me every day which I don't use. God knows what some of the ladies on here have in their handbags!
