So taking stock of what I have in my desk/office I started wondering what kinds of things other people stock up on at work. I have the following:
Deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, dental floss, Q-Tips, ibuprofen, tylenol, cold medicine, tums, anti-diahrreal medicine, tums, bandaids, rubbing alcohol, paper plates, bowls, spoons & forks, lotion and of course feminine supplies.

    Wellllllllllllllll.............
    small change for the pop and/or chip machine (which I haven't visited in MONTHS, honest!)
    Hair spray
    Anti-static spray for clothing
    toothpaste (hmmm, where's the toothbrush?)
    a comb, mirror, lipgloss.

    I also have a SNACK drawer, which used to be filled with really bad stuff like candy bars and cookies. It now has dried fruit, whole-grain crackers, crunchy salad toppings, and ............ okay, a bag of mini-chocolate bars which I have NOT opened and will put in my candy dish to share with all :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I have a drawer that has two extra collared shirts and twelve to fifteen various ties. You never know when you're going to need a change of clothes.

    Postscript: In another drawer, I have a Tide stick.

    I have a drawer that is where I keep my personal stuff like my purse, crystal lite, snacks etc. My other drawers have files, pens, pencils, white out, post-its, tape, black markers, paint pens, rubber bands, keys to my co-workers desk, key to my bosses office, key to the storage room, notebooks, sick forms, stamps, gloves, staples and paper clips. LOL all the normal office supplies, ha ha.

    At home, I've got the computer but also a Devil Ducky and a toy version of my Ducati Monster. Most of the other stuff is things that collect there and stay there waiting for me to put in the right place.

    I keep all my snack stuff in the lunch room so I have to go up 2 flights of stairs to get it. i don't know if I could keep it at my desk, too easy to snack that way.

    If I did that, it would be gone!

    All my usual office supplies like post-it's, notebooks, notepads, pens, tape, stapler, paper clips, binder clips, etc.

    I also have my "food drawer" which consists of utensils, peanut butter, oatmeal, a cereal bar, mustard, and tea. Then I've got my lotions, cleaning suppies (i.e. disinfectant, lysol wipes, and my lint roller), ibuprofen, headphones, hairbrush, and a stress ball.

    I do have tootsie rolls in a bowl on my desk that someone gave me for Christmas but I've only had 1!
