Your Every Day Carry
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: http://www.wengerna.com/stuff/conten...wa_7953_02.png My lunch bag: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg My Bubba keg: http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3...7j6vo1_250.jpg My purse: (this is a Stuart Weizman. I have the knock-off version that looks exactly like it for like, a bazillion dollars cheaper ) http://www.fashionfuss.com/wp-conten...ndle-bag-1.jpg 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: http://www.zumbawearuk.com/media/cat.../b/a/bagb1.png No wonder I have back problems! :| |
Everything I need fits here. One backpack mobile office.

My Purse......at the moment in a Chevy purse that I had to have made so it would have the middle slide for my gun.
So in my purse its.........chapstick, wallet, pepper spray taser, 9mm, gum, hair brush, badge and keys |
Anything I may need for the day usually fits into my pockets. Cell phone, keys, wallet and I'm good to go.

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: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...L._AA1500_.jpg |
Hmm...I'm noticing that I'm a bit of a girl...lol

Every day I carry a plain, black, Jansport backpack. It was given to me by my first boss, nearly 9 years ago, when I was leaving that company for the one I work for now. Inside, I have my calendar, cell phone, wallet, bus pass, keys, and other things based on daily activities. Thurs I have choir music, 1st and 3rd Wed. I have have knitting or cross-stitch, Some Tues I have dance gear. I can't stand carrying more than one bag and it's actually the same bag I travel with. I can fit an entire weekend worth of clothes (including shoes!) in it! :)

My bag is almost like this one, only without the drawstring thingy. It's "Starbucks" green and I got it when I .... worked at Starbucks. It's very big and always holds - My Daytimer http://www.franklincovey.cz/shop/pro...iraffe_1_c.jpg With my Jack wallet that is WAAAAAY cooler than this one. I couldn't find a picture of my exact wallet, that's how unique it is. Thanks Dixie. http://img.pupe.ameba.jp/image/item/l/Yi3EkHA-c8OM.jpg My giant ziploc bag with Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Excedrin Migraine, Carmex, and Orajel (lately). I'm old like that. http://photos.indystar.com/photos/20...5/show_big.jpg Tons of pens, my work badge, the book du jour, and usually an assortment of papers, notes, printouts wadded up at the bottom.

As an everyday carry? Kahr Arms P-380. Used to be a Walther, but I like the Kahr performance in a tight little package that this one gives me.
;) |
'Pends what I'm doing.
Daily in pockets: iPod touch, mobile phone, lip salve, tissues (I am the tissue Meister!), small ring with door and bike lock keys, quite often a Buff, wallet and loose coinage...and generally my 'anti hot flush' pills. Clipped to belt loop a small bunch carrying small Swiss Army knife, shopping trolley 'coin', hand-cuffs key. Cycling: Large sports bum bag (I believe you lot call them fanny packs) containing jacket and possibly waterproof, cycle tool, small tyre pump, peaked army hat and sometimes a book. College: Huge Targus rucksack that has wheels which contains my laptop, various books, folders and files. Pills and potions, pencil case, ID card, voice recorder and microphone and my water bottle. It kills me to carry this on the bike but needs must. |
I confess that many days I don't even leave my house since I work from home, but.....when I do.....
Brighton addict (I have the brown one) http://brightonpurses.net/wp-content.../handbags1.jpg ...filled with:
Kinda' boring, huh? |
When i work, in my big scrub pockets, i carry:
sissors keys hemostats with tape on the handle my phone chapstick or lipgloss my computer bag with computer and various documents my nursing bag which has a little bit of everything i need and has three big compartments, one for wound supplies, one for blood draw supplies/IVs and the middle has vital sign stuff...bp cuff, stethoscope, pulse ox etc. By the end of my work day, my shoulders and arms are tired lugging all this around all day. When i am not at work, i carry my purse which i change often from small to medium and back to small depending on the season and my mood. In my purse i have just about everything you could think of including a small flashlight, short of toilet paper, even though i do have hand wipes. I refer to it sometimes as the big black hole. I should go on "Let's make a deal". |

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. |
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.

Novela,
Thank you! It's a Komen Eco-friendly tote. I got it on amazon for about $50. |
Before I became a nurse I used to be a purse carryin kinda girl...now I usually just take what I can fit in scrub pockets:
Keys Bandage Scissor Penlight Pens Chapstick Wallet (a "man's" wallet...I've found "women's" wallets are too big to fit in the pocket) |
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.

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. |
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.
|
When we go out
wallet cell phone keys my glasses in her purse, I don't need them to drive. |
When I do go out, depending on where I go, its usually just My:
~ keys on a lanyard ~ Wallet ~ cell phone ~ hat on My head (preferably My Seattle Seahawks ball cap) |
most of the time I try to buy shorts and pants with pockets to carry my Iphone because of its otter box case. I hate it but need it. My hands are always full or busy running errands so I prefer my cards and id in a very small Baggallini with a shoulder strap. But if I'm going to have Mia I take along a nice straw bag. I still carry my credit cards in my tiny Baggallini across my shoulder. I also have these small fabric indian medicine bags with corded shoulder straps I will wear for my cell phone and various items. I hate carrying a pursue for practical reasons.
I filter my water at home then each day fill up one of those two gallon igloo water coolers with a spout and handle. I carry this with me everywhere I go during the summer. I keep it in my car, next to my bed, desk. I drink a lot of water and like it very cold. |
Traveling light makes me happy.
Keys
Wallet Cell Phone Always have a baseball hat in the car. |

Everyday carry work mode consists of wallet with business cards and sales licence in left pocket. Cell, random change, used car list in right pocket. If I remember I'll throw a chapstick or lip gloss in there too. Lately I've been into Avons Slick Tint in glossy wine. Gives a little color :)
Non work mode, all of the above goes into which ever purse fits my mood, or which ever one happens to be closest. |
Crazy!
My purse is actually a navy-blue leather Coach backpack that I wear over my shoulder like a purse. It is heavy enough to knock out a 200lb mugger. Here are just a few items:
My Iphone and a power cord to charge it Handiwipes Kleenex Wallet filled to overflowing-credit cards, nursing license, Costco card, AAA card, gas card, health insurance card, etc. Coupons for various stores pens migraine medicine inhaler checks checkbook register (should be together but they are not so always looking for one or the other) compack to powder my nose lipstick eyelash curler (hey- I am a femme, what do you expect) couple of bucks in change for soda machine Splenda for coffee (lot of places only carry SweetNLow) I need to stop now but you get the idea I won't even go into the big messenger bag I carry into work each day, along with my purse... |
