Your Every Day Carry

Medusa · 07-31-2011, 09:59 PM

What do you carry? To work? To school? In general?

This is me:

Every day that I work, I carry these things:

My computer bag:

My lunch bag:

My Bubba keg:

My purse: (this is a Stuart Weizman. I have the knock-off version that looks exactly like it for like, a bazillion dollars cheaper )

My work-out bag that contains my workout clothes, a pair of socks, a pair of New Balance shoes, 2 bottles of water, a towel, and a yoga mat. It usually stays in the truck until I need it:

No wonder I have back problems!

UofMfan · 07-31-2011, 10:06 PM

Everything I need fits here. One backpack mobile office.

MissPriss · 07-31-2011, 10:12 PM

Holly.88 · 07-31-2011, 10:22 PM

Anything I may need for the day usually fits into my pockets. Cell phone, keys, wallet and I'm good to go.

I used to carry this around every day -

But then it got replaced with the very extra special messenger bag that Nina made me for my birthday!

Greyson · 07-31-2011, 11:52 PM

Briefcase and/or Messenger Bag. One with work stuff, the other filled with books and other stuff for classes in the evening.
- Thermos of coffee and one full coffee cup
- cell phone, android

Funny, I just switched my summer fun purse for my ginormous Coach bag/purse.

I roll a rolly cart on busy days.

And on less busy days, I carry this:

Oh MY, Blush!! May I ask who makes this and where I can find one? I absolutely LOVE it!!

Novelafemme · 08-01-2011, 08:07 AM

I usually carry a bright bag of some sort...LOVE Coach and Kate Spade the most (but can't afford them

) and inside is my wallet...gotta have a checkbook wallet for my cards and such...my iphone, sunglasses and eyeglasses (both in their cases), car/house keys and anywhere from 2-8 tubes of chapstick.

For school I was carrying a big ole' black backpack but I have been scouring ebay for something a bit more feminine. I saw a girl on campus with this great brown leather backpack that also doubled as a messenger bag, most likely Italian as the needlework was quite intricate. Inside are whatever books I need for that class, 1-2 notebooks for notes and scrap paper and a binder. Sometimes I will bring my laptop or iPad but only if it's a long class. Oh, and lots of pens and pencils.

In my car I always carry my yoga mat/clothes, a Conway tool kit and reusable grocery bags.

ruffryder · 08-01-2011, 07:22 PM

My work day carry consists of my thermo cup for coffee, lunch bag, a cap on my head, storage clipboard, pens, highlighters, sharpies, and in my pockets - cell phone, white superman wallet, keys, change.

blush · 08-01-2011, 07:35 PM

Novela,
Thank you! It's a Komen Eco-friendly tote. I got it on amazon for about $50.

Hack · 08-01-2011, 10:01 PM

A basic black messenger bag that contains: personal smartphone; work-issued BlackBerry; a composition book (I use for work-related notes at meetings); a brown leather covered journal for my personal thoughts, notes on the novel I will never write and bits of misc writing; a handheld digital recording device to record media interviews my Director gives or to create on the fly podcasts; at least 3 pens; a mechanical pencil; a Sharpie (old habit from when I worked with a politician often asked for autographs); an old, beaten up address book; my GPS unit for my car; a keyring with house keys to two friends' houses and my parents' house; an inhaler because my once a year bronchitis sometimes triggers mild asthma; my regular work I.D. badge; my security cleared I.D. badge for an ongoing oil spill cleanup site on the Kalamazoo River; a small stack of my business cards; and a small vial containing two KI (potassium iodide) pills because I am on the first response team for a nuclear disaster in Michigan.

DamonK · 08-01-2011, 10:13 PM

If we're just going out to eat... wallet, phone, hearing aid batteries, keys if needed

To work is a totally different story...trash bags in right cargo pocket, gloves in left cargo pocket. Keys, hearing aid batteries, juice mixes (Think Crystal Light), 2 lighters, cigarettes in left pocket. Cell phone in right pocket. Pen on shirt.

Glenn · 08-01-2011, 11:08 PM

My everyday carry all is only a wallet my Mom won playing a game in a nursing home before she died eleven years ago. I'll never forget how happy and proud she was to give it to me.
