So, I realize that I'm a cross between a pack-rat and a turtle. I not only have to hang on to more crap than is reasonable, but I have to carry large quantities of that crap with me at all times. So, Here's a complete inventory of everything I brought to work today, that I wasn't born with:
Boots, socks, pants, underwear, shirt, wedding ring, earring, pocket watch, silicone Aiden Thomas bracelet, cell phone, small notebook, pocket knife, pen, keychain with 7 keys, a bolt with nut and 2 washers, a small multi-tool, a flash drive, cigarette case (serving as a wallet), photo of Nicole and Aiden, Drivers License, Work access card, CTA Card, Debit Card, Credit Card, Library Card, Medical Insurance Card, Dental Insurance Card, Camera bag, Camera, lens, lens cap, memory card holder, 4 memory cards, camera strap, usb cable, hair tie, Backpack, mini sharpie, 2 flashlights, pen, Cubs "Believe" bracelet, LiveStrong bracelet, 2 United Way pins, Peace Sign Button, Nixon Now button, Cat collar, Toothpaste, deodorant, microSD adapter and case, cell phone headset, CD player, headphones, Metra Northwest Line schedule, notebook, sharpie, open enrollment paperwork, budget paperwork, GPS, WD-40 pen, Altoids tin, Pepto tablets, Dayquil, 6" C-Wrench, flower from Dad's wedding, Collapsable Guinness frisbee, 4 AA batteries, 13 CD's, 2 hardback books, 2 lbs. baby carrots, 2 frozen burritos, lunch bag, one item of mail to send, and 1 item of paperwork to fax.
Oh, and this isn't what I'd consider a day that I'm carrying that much stuff. I don't have the laptop, and it's not library day. So, what do you carry around with you?
Why on earth?! I mean, how to you manage to bring all that stuff with you?
It's a very large backpack.
Normally I have my keychain, my car keys, tobacco, a lighter and my wallet. Thats it. ;-)
As I recall, it was a day in early November of your 7th grade year when you had so much stuff in your bag that you couldn't really carry it. You got off the bus and then had to reach back in to drag your bag behind you. The driver didn't see you reach back in, so he shut the door and took off... dragging YOU. Except for having better skills in using public transportation, it sounds like things haven't changed much!! (hee hee)
Love you!!!
Mom
mom pwnd you.
Today is my big day because I carry my gym bag to work on Mondays and carry it home on Fridays. SO...
t-Shirt, shorts, socks, shoes, athletic tape, pre-wrap, gum, apple info (fruit, not PC), gym bag. tupperware of soup, baby carrots, v8, sting cheese, watch, wedding ring, socks, shoes, boxers, jeans, t-shirt, RSA token, work name badge. Wallet- 3 receipts, 4 business cards, video place gift card, library card, credit card, bank card, License.
That's it.
Must be hereditary... I once suggested that your mom get a picnic basket for a purse. And I've got this Trek courier bag I carry to work every day. It doesn't have as much stuff as you carry, but it's got notebooks, my Palm, the phone, etc. And I generally could leave most of it at home. Like the stuff I carry to gigs, it's often not needed, but "just in case"...
Love you!!
Dad
