What is in my work bag...
Saturday, February 11, 2012 2:37:35 AM
Sometimes though, I look at my bag and laugh. Growing up around briefcases, I never figured this would be my gear, but I'm not that normal. I asked my friends across a bunch of social networks (mostly got Twitter replies) what they thought was in my work bag.
Here's the photo of what I carry most days. I made a scoring system to reward risk and accuracy (correct/guesses x 100 x correct). Some people know me really well!
(mostly clockwise):
Leather duffel by John Varvatos, coated canvas macbook case by incase, white iphone cable, black Rockstar Games weapon bag, false moustache, Opera business card case with some of my cards (red), to the left of those are some Opera Mini download cards, and below are some Opera screen swipes that iJustine made so popular. To the right of that stuff is a container of sticky eyes, because I stick them on everything. Then we've got Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Bowser micro figs. Below them are some BOOM Movement stickers, a lucha libre wrestling mask with a new Windows Phone I got from Microsoft and Klout. That blue card is my tasks for the day, there's a Go Pro Hero 2 HD on a Gorillapod. A pile of business cards for people I recently met. Some Klout stickers (want a Klout Speed Dial?), and iPhone cases (Gameboy, monster, and a LEGO one from Dustin Wilson). My MacBook Pro. Jawbone Jambox. Seven LEGO Star Wars Stormtroopers. A small space man, and ninja with katana. My Olloclip. A notebook by ActionMethod. To the left of the MacBook, and heading up are a shitty incase iPhone battery, a decent Mophie one, a red incase pouch for wires and small things, with a Moshi pouch on it. Some wires: audio, iOS, micro and mini USB. iPad case, iPad 2, Gerber knife, Fenix LD01 light (thanks J Lynn), glif iPhone tripod adapter, LEGO Minifig Series 6 robot, green SWAG ring, LEGO Minifig stand, unused wire ties, Opera USB drive, iPhone USB plug, Nintendo 3DS, Blue Leader in ear headphones by my friends at BOOM Movement, Moon Rock wind up earbuds with mic from my friends at Moshi, white Beats Solo HDs. Oh, and my token that TASER gave me for officially taking as much damage as humanly possible.
Did I miss anything?
Now lets see how everyone did...
Jacki Hope
1-5 lego characters, a Nintendo DS, an iPad, various cables, a notebook and an extra pair of underwear *just in case* (and depending on the size of your work bag, half an ice tea)

Just thought I would let you know I'm back. I have created a new name though as fluffybunny is slightly outdated these days. You need to hook me up with some schwag dude ;-) Facebook me. We need to catch up!
