The loss of pockets

[fbhjr]

Today was the first day I headed off to work without my coat this spring. It was a bit chilly, but it warmed up quickly.
Without my coat and it’s pockets, I made sure to grab my phone, iPod, camera, extra camera battery, sunglasses and memory stick.
It was as I pulled into work I realized I remembered all of that, but not my lunch.
I’m not saying having more pockets would have made me remember my lunch. But, knowing all of that is pre-loaded in my coat does give me time to think of other things I’m supposed to bring with me.
But, a brief case is over kill for what I carry as I can fit it all in my hands.
I’m thinking I need some sort of portable pocket holder. Something that has pockets like a coat, but without the actual coat.
I was thinking about those things clergy wear around their necks that drape down the front. Could you put pockets on those? They’d be easy to take off when you got where you’re going, but you’d still have your stuff with you…

Two words, man purse!

Yeah, I've got a briefcase. But, it is overkill for the stuff that could fit in a few pockets...

A purse is (usually) smaller than a briefcase. I have a nice not-feminine thing I got from LLBean (as I recall)- it's sort of teardrop-shaped and designed to be comfortable on one's shoulder. I have the big one; there's a smaller version.

get a lunch box big enough to bring all the stuff plus lunch in.

Cargo pants. They has pockets. :D

If work gives you grief about 'dress codes' and such silliness - insist they are not "cargo" pants, they are "Engineer's Pants", specially designed for the happening, active, and company-saving Engineer in today's busy go-get-done day!

I've got a pair I do wear once and a while.
But, the pockets stick out and catch on things.

I'm sure a nice stole would be very becoming. However, loaded down it could cause quite a neck ache.

I suggest starting a trend with a belt pouch.

I'd only use it when carrying the things. Once at work, I'd hang it up like I do a coat.
