This is a good topic.
Although I have a fantastic office, the majority of my work time is spent in the community due to the nature of my occupation. Therefore, most of the items in my desk are REALLY office supplies. BUT... I will admit that I also keep a wash cloth, a bar of Oil of Ole' soap, potpourri oil, a pair of socks, a pair of sneakers, a pair of shorts, and a t-shirt in the desk also. The only reason that those items are there is because there is a weight room located at our facility and I'm SUPPOSED to be accessing it as often as I like. I'm just keeping the stuff there JUST IN CASE I decide to follow through with actually USING the weight room.
Now the items kept in my purse are an ENTIRELY different story. THIS I can better relate to. Some of the UNUSUAL items that I keep in my purse are: hair pins, deodorant, a small note pad, a disposable camera, lotion, matches or a lighter, scrunchies or rubber bands, baby powder, 4 sanitary napkins (I ALWAYS keep the same amount), kleenex, numerous pieces of candy and gum (I have two children of my own and I work with children every day yall), a tape of either of JILL SCOTT'S CDs, and those Listerine thingies that melt in your mouth.
That's a lot, right? Well, I'm not EVEN going to mention what I keep in the glove compartment, arm-rest, and trunk of my car.
