elsiegee40 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 Now the question is.... why isnt your memory stick on an edugeek lanyard?! Sacrilege!!! The memory stick is one of the freebies from the Microsoft conference and hasn't been put into use yet... the ones I use are on my bunch of keys Erm, why do you have a hammer in your handbag? Ah... well... I had some cabling to do and I couldn't find the caretaker's tool box so I had to bring one from home to knock in the cable clips It's no wonder I have back problems!
Hightower Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Erm, why do you have a hammer in your handbag? Trade the hammer for a screwdriver and you'll be ready for just about everything 1

Contents of my bag: Half a brain that seriously lacks common sense Mouth that never stops complaining Eyes to glare whenever I breath out of place Big feet to kick me up the backside for 'doing it wrong' yet again ..... oh, you mean bag as in a carrying device. I thought you meant the witch that lives with me at home 9

tom_newton Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Once went in the wife's bag for an umbrella at here instruction... "which one do you want?" was my reply Yesterday I looked in there and saw 6 pens, without moving anything, if i dug I bet there are 15. I'm not allowed to"rat" in her bag though
sted Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 A teacher training device as it is more commonly known. yup used to insert information after the umpteenth attempt every other way
webman Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 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 1
36Degrees Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 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"
e_g_r Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Set of Alan keys Bike pump puncture repair kit pack 1st class stamps various letters and bills Bank Card Pen Drive old pay slip Tesco Voucher Phone 1
maniac Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Bag?? What bag?? I don't take one anywhere, everything I need is in my pockets or clipped to my belt.
36Degrees Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Laptop, psu, mouse, etc. CD wallet External hard drive Web cam Presentation mouse 2 pairs of earphones 2 Pen drives 2 backup tapes Family Guy DVD Camera USB Battery charger USB multi-card reader Case for CF & SD Cards Spare glasses Mini maglite Hayfever tablets Small notebook Pen & 2 pencils Several pay slips ... think that's it ... 1
CAM Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 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. 1
Hightower Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 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) 2
Sirbendy Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 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. 1
