1. Vitamins
Before I took prescription Vit D, I took that every day. I take a huge loading dose of Vit C when I think I'm getting sick, and I take a multi when I can remember (so keeping a bottle in my desk is helpful).
2. Hand-sanitiser
Especially helpful for when people with grubby hands insist on coming in and handling everything.
3. Feminine hygiene products
For days when I need extra supplies
4. Hand lotion
Neutrogena, of course.
5. Facial blotting tissues
Neutrogena, of course.
6. Chapstick
Do I really need to tell you which brand?
7. Toothbrush/toothpaste
For days when lunch was garlicky, when I had a dental appointment right after work, or just wanted to freshen up between work and meeting someone after. Though someone mentioned having the Brush-Ups, and I might do that instead.
8. Extra nylons in case I got a run in the ones I was wearing
If the run was up the leg, I didn't care. But I can't stand my toe poking through. *shudder*
9. A paring knife
For FRUIT to eat for snacks/lunch, people! Relax!
10. A few CDs
11. My favourite pens
The workplace always supplies pens, but I have a certain pen I prefer.
What are some other suggestions for things I should be toting in? I won't necessarily be hauling in a huge bag my first day, of course. But there are some things I'll want right away and some things I'll discover I'll want as I go. What do you have in your desk/locker?
I keep sanitizing wipes for my computer because gross people insist on touching stuff.
ReplyDelete(I keep extra knife blades, and Sawyers 100% DEET - but you probably don't need that)
I keep Excedrin (it can sometimes kill s migraine if I get it early) Airborne & a herbal immune system boosting tea ( I refuse to get sick)
A few fabric flexible band aids - we have crappy ones in the first aid kit. Nail glue- works great on little cuts after the initial burn, cortaid (for when I get brain damage and don't use the deet)
In addition to pens ( I am SOO picky) I have my own sharpies, highlighters (I swear you can't highlight one line or word with the kind they have) and colored paper clips. Not just because I like the colors - its faster when all of one kind of report have the same color clip.
I also keep true lemon and true lime - for when I just have to drink the crappy Aquafina/Dasani water. And Starbucks instant coffee.
