This is reason #153 why I wish I worked with you. I have: headphones. But you’ve inspired me! So now I’ve emptied out the personal part of my work bag into my brand-new Being Prepared drawer, and now I have: Vaseline Lip Therapy, Dayquil, some change, matches, headphones, one tube of really old lip gloss, two hair rubber bands, and Trident White. Yay!

I used to be “one of those” people. Now I don’t have a desk. I have a small food stash off to the right of my computer monitor, but no emergency drawer. What to do!
