In My Work Bag

All around in the CBC (Cool Bloggers Community) the posts about what is in my purse or bag are popping up. I have lost count who all had a post and who was first. However because of FOMO and lack of a better idea today I decided to share what I have in my work bag today.

I went to a meeting at the hospital today and used my official work bag. The one you see above. It is a 100% leather bag I bought 2021 and have used 23 times so far. That tells you about how often I have a very official meeting or I need the black bag. It already has some signs of usage at the corners and the handle. So I am really amazed reading how long Engies purse has been in rotation.

Alright but you are here for the bits and pieces that came out of the bag.

Laptop – obviously no work without laptop. Didn’t need a charger because it lasts all day and I knew I won’t be using the laptop every hour.

Kindle – usually carry it with me since the commute to the client is 2+ hours. Didn’t use it today though.

iPhone charger – I started carrying that one because our buses have USB plugs and I can charge my phone for free on the way. Today I didnt make use of it as it was really packed.

Notebook – this is the particular notebook for this client. I try to have a designated notebooks for each client. For one I can finde notes easier on the other hand I am not accidentally leave (confidential) notes of other clients at places they shouldn’t be.

To-go mug – back in 2020 (or maybe even 2019) I decided to not buy any paper/plastic cups anymore but have my own mug. If I don’t have it no to-go coffee. This one I received at a blogging in 2017… maybe 2018

Booklet & book – these are publications from my clients I need to create content for the 30 year celebration in 2025. It is the story of creating this hospital (which is very unique as the combine western and integrative medicine).

Tissues – it’s cold season and this is in my bag. I didn’t know I had two packs to be honest.

Sanitizer – that has become a staple with covid. Should I remove it? Probably not.

Wallet – I downsized my wallet a lot and have this small red one for probably five years now.

AirPods – rarely leaving the house without them. I listen to podcasts, audiobooks or sometimes music.

Tea bags – I didn’t know I had those in there but it doesn’t surprise me as I usually travel with tea bags. I guess these are remnants from the last trade show.

Mask – still carry around a new one I can use. Haven’t worn one in probably a year… besides where required in the hospital.

Lipstick – today was red as I am wearing the same color as pants. I usually have the matching color with me and a chapstick which was missing today.

Triptans & Ibuprofen – my acute medicine for migraines I have these scattered around in arm my purses and also in my wallet. Missing them can be fatal.

Keys – no need for explanations, right.

Bag of nuts – another item I didn’t quite knew I had in the bag but which doesn’t surprise me. It is an emergency snack in case a migraine creeps.

And here you have what I have in my work bag. However this is a snapshot of today. I unpack the entire bag after every usage and only medicine, sanitizer, tissues and mask go back. I will keep the nuts and teabags too for now. Everything else gets sorted away and when I need my purse or another bag I pack anew.

You turn: What odd thing is in your bag or purse? Do you carry snacks? Any medicine that always is in your bag? Do you unpack your back after every use?
