I’m one of those guys that carries a backpack. Then again, I usually have two or three books that I’m reading over lunch or breaks, a portable radio for listening to baseball games or CDs for during work and the drive home, a small first aid kit, spare batteries for the radio, breakfast and occasionally lunch, and if it was legal in this state, a gun for concealed carry. I suppose I’ve taken the Boy Scout motto of “Be Prepared” to heart.
As it is, my pockets usually have change, a lens cloth, pocketknife, cellphone, rosary and other assorted stuff for my day. I like keeping my mind occupied in between bursts of work-related work, so this stuff helps.
