The contents of your bag... *redface*

A teacher training device as it is more commonly known.

yup used to insert information after the umpteenth attempt every other way

My bag is mainly a camera bag, so it has a camera + lens; but also pockets of "stuff", which contain:

• USB cables
• Network cable
• Insulating tape
• Cable ties
• Pens
• Pencils
• Post-It notes
• Multi-tool
• USB flash drive
• Memory card reader
• Highlighter

Trade the hammer for a screwdriver and you'll be ready for just about everything

I'd stick with the hammer. Screws are just "serrated nails" anyway

A teacher training device as it is more commonly known.

AKA "attitude adjuster"

Lunch.

That's it. Everything else important is in my wallet and/or pocket. My car boot does have a worryingly large quantity of gaffer tape though.

[Hightower]

everything I need is clipped to my belt.

Ooooooo, showing your geek rating there I'm afraid:

items on belt / (items in pockets + items on belt) + number of pairs of glasses owned - number of led zeppelin albums owned * the number of tools on average to complete a job * (number of programming languages comfortable with using / 2)

So for instance I have 3 items in my pockets, 0 on my belt, don't wear glasses, own 3 led zeppelin albums, it normally takes me a screwdriver and wire cutters to complete the average job, and I'm pretty comfortable in 4 programming languages.

0 / (3 + 0) + 0 - 3 * 2 * (4 / 2)
That gives me a geek rating of -12 making me uber cool on the HGRT (Hightower Geek Rating Scale)

[Sirbendy]

In mine is:

Paper notebook
Lunch
DWP paperwork (joy)
USB lead to charge the Ericcson
baby swimsuit (don't ask)
2x bottles of water, plus one little squeezy bottle for daughter when I collect from nursery
Payslip/P60
Shampoo and conditioner.
Ruddy useless painkiller. In fact they're making me ache more FFS..

I dislocated my kneecap 3 weeks ago at work (still gives me the shuddering cringes), and now I need a rucksack I can wear whilst on crutches. The only one at home is our family swim bag, hence the costumes, shampoo etc. I must get a proper work one that I can put a 17" tft in.

0/1 + 0 - 0*3*(2/2) = 0.... what that make me?

[KWestos]

Erm, why do you have a hammer in your handbag?

Because it looks like a ford keyfob! The only way to get it started maybe?

Gerbil food. The gerbil is an essential member of the IT team if I need any cables severing in an emergency.

I'd like a gerbil. I wonder if SLT will let me have one. I could feed anoying kids to it.
