Do you have a 'work bag'? What's in it?

I was dicussing with a coworker yesterday on the elevator how much 'stuff' we bring with us to work. We both had lunch bags, 'work bags' and our purses.

Do you have a 'work bag'?

What's in it?

Do you bring it everyday?

Do you use what is in it everyday?

Re: Do you have a 'work bag'? What's in it?

  • Do you have a 'work bag'? Yes

    What's in it? I bring my planner and usually have a notebook in there for personal things I may have to write down (to do lists, shopping lists etc). Some days it'll vary. If I have to go to the post office to mail something or pay some bills online I'll bring those with. If I bring my makeup and put it on at my desk, I'll bring that in my bag as well.

    Do you bring it everyday? Yes

    Do you use what is in it everyday? No. But if I don't bring it, I feel lost. I usually bring it because I'll print a few personal things at work so then I put them in my bag.

    My bag is from Thirty-One gifts. I love it. I have my monogram in bright pink on the front.

  • Do you have a 'work bag'?

    Yes, but is a backpack 

    What's in it?

    My clothes and stuff to get ready, I am in and out of the pool all day so often I don't shower before going to work as I just get in the pool right away and then shower when I am done at work. 

    Do you bring it everyday?

    Yes, even if it is a non pool day, I workout before I start work so I still get ready there.  It is really convenient working at a gym 

    Do you use what is in it everyday?

    Yes

    Do you have a 'work bag'? Technically not anymore, I used to carry a work bag and a purse but it just got to be too much, so I just got a bigger purse and use that all the time.

    What's in it? Planner, wallet, cell phone, camera, flip camera, keys, notepad, business cards, bills, checkbooks, Pens, E-key for real estate, diaper for DS, etc.

    Do you bring it everyday? Yep goes everywhere with me, unless I'm in a sketchy part of town showing houses, then I limit what I bring to e-key and drivers license.

    Do you use what is in it everyday? sadly yes...

  • I just use a big canvas tote to haul school stuff around in - it's usually just work to grade.  I'm SO happy on the days that I don't have to use it - which means I don't have any correcting to do.  Now is not one of those times.
  • Do you have a 'work bag'?  Yes

    What's in it? I ride the bus, so I keep my Nook in there at all times, an umbrella, mittens, gum, my lunch. On the way home I will put my Target purcahses in there (because working right next to Target I feel like I am there everyday) and my purse.

    Do you bring it everyday? Sure do

    Do you use what is in it everyday?  No, it depends on the weather

    ETA: Bonus points for a PIP of your bag! I can't find mine online. DH bought me a HUGE Coach bag a couple of years ago and I didn't really have a use for it until I started working downtown. It is khaki and pink.

  • Do you have a 'work bag'?  Yes

    What's in it?  All manner of personal papers that I plan to take care of but never do (dr. bill I need to pay, receipts, magazines, coupons, to-do lists that I never do)

     Do you bring it everyday? more or less

     Do you use what is in it everyday?  no, I've been dragging it around less because I'm "organizing" it less.

     ETA: Bonus points for a PIP of your bag! I don't know how to PIP - but it's this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BFEZ7Q/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001X8411M&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0MJPRNGWPKT5XFM30VZ1

     

  • Do you have a 'work bag'?  Sometimes. If I need my laptop, I'll bring it in a separate bag. I used to bring two, but now I usually just use a huge purse.What's in it? Normal purse stuff, my lunch, planner, and any paperwork I need for the day (either to bring home and work on there, or bring to work to scan/fax.) I usually throw my tea mug in there too. (It's spillproof, thankfully!)Do you bring it everyday? Purse, yes.  Extra laptop bag- not always.Do you use what is in it everyday?  Usually.ETA: Bonus points for a PIP of your bag! I doubt the current purse is still online, but I rotate between a few huge purses.  They're all really bright and obnoxious though :)
  • Do you have a 'work bag'? sort of. i prefer backpacks so i can keep my hands free. shoulder bags always fall off my shoulders and it makes me crabby.

    What's in it? depends on the day. usually: purse, sodastream bottle of water, my iPad, keys, work badge, iPhone, change of clothes (for school at night), umbrella, nerdy vitamin sorter, makeup, mail and my school books on days i have class.

    Do you bring it everyday? yup, everyday.

    Do you use what is in it everyday? believe it or not, all of it (except the umbrella)

  • My work bag is really a burlap shopping bag from The Lady & Sons when we were on vacation last fall.  I don't want to keep investing in work bags and my work is relaxed enough that the nicer resuable shopping bags work.

    I travel to and from with 2 Contigo insulated coffee mugs with coffee in them. I have several packets of Justin's Nut Butters of various flavors for quick snacks.  Usually an apple or banana.  The rest is filled with my lunch, unbrella or whatever I need that day.

    Yes, I use it every day.

    I do for the most part and tend to clean it out every weekend.
