Hopefully this isn't the weirdest post of the day

or hopefully it is?

Do you have any personal items or things you do at work?

I just opened my desk drawer and realized how I treat my office like it is my personal locker. I have my hair straightener, make up, toothbrush. I even have a blanket under my desk. 

My god, I could live here.

  • my drawers = better stocked than my kitchen cupboards. no lie.
  • Loading the player...
  • I have toothbrush/paste, deodorant (yes, I have forgotten to put it on at home before!), advil, snacks, soda (I have a mini-fridge in my office).

  • i just have snacks and an extra sweater for when i get cold.  i would love to bring in a space heater but that is a fire hazard.

  • Sure do.  I have a full drawer dedicated to my snacks.  (I eat breakfast at work every morning and sometimes lunch too.)  I also keep a jacket at work because it is so cold in here in the mornings.  I am temped to bring my snuggie!  I also keep my ipod, cds here in case my boss gets too loud on the phone and I need to drown out the sound of his voice. 

    I try to get to my office a few minutes early each morning so  that I can balance my check book and pay bills.  It is so much easier to do it here than trying to get on the computer at home at night. 

  • LOL ditto the others. I keep a ton of snacks here especially with BFing. And I keep the 'good' stuff here rather than at home (read: chocolate) since I tend to get hit with cravings at night, but still eat some at work.

    I have extra clothes too.

    I definitely use my lunch break to balance the checkbook, order things online, etc.

  • Hmm, I don't really keep stuff here.  I have some food and hand lotion but that's pretty much it.  Oh, and slippers.

  • My bottom desk drawer has:

    Tampons, frog food (I have 2 mini frogs in an aquarium on my desk), snacks, books, my purse, pumpkin decorations for Halloween, lotion, chapstick.  My entire desk/walls are covered with pictures and artwork of DD's.

  • Oatmeal packets for when I don't have time to eat at home, hair brush, condiments, a spare diaper for DD.  All sorts of random stuff.  You should have seen my drawer when I was pumping!  Nursing bra, breastpads, etc. :)
  • I have a few things that I have locked in a file cabinet, a few sodas just in case, lotion, gum.... Anything else would be stolen in a heart beat (I teach at a "high risk" school)

    This.  Exactly.  CWs joke that in case of emergency, they are coming to my office for food rations.

  • I WFH now, so I have everything I need here.

    Back when I had to go into the office, I had a drawer full of snacks, a sweater, toothbrush and toothpaste, chapstick, and probably a few other personal items.  Oh, and at any given time 5 - 8 different pairs of shoes under my desk.  I'd wear flip flops or other comfortable shoes or snow boots for my commute (bus + 6 block walk) and then change when I got to the office.

  • no, not really.

    I have a TON of pictures.  A mug.  A comb.  A change purse with a few dollars, just in case I am insatiably hungry or get the urge for a soda.    & some plastic utinsils.
