I finished my book on the subway this morning. This is a tragedy of great and terrible proportions! What will I read on the way home? What if we get stuck for hours and I have nothing to do? Not to mention lunch. I'm tempted to go buy a book, but I feel slightly guilty, given the size of my to-be-read shelf at home. Still, appropriate measures must be taken, I'm sure you all agree.

It's an emergency.

Where's a "break glass in case of emergency" book when you need one?

This is why I used to always have a few dependable re-reads tucked away in my desk at work!

Eventually, of course, if you have to use enough of them, you run out. That's when I'd buy a puzzle book or something like that -- cheaper than buying a book book.

That's so smart! I'm totally going to have to bring in some books. Of course, it'll ruin my record of being here 6 years without anything more personal than a spoon showing up in my workspace, but that's a small price to pay. :)

I honestly don't know how you live. Where is your tea? Your biscuits for eating with tea? Your emergency granola bars? Your vitamins and headache pills? Your hand sanitizer and lotion? Your favourite mug? Your your your.

Well hidden! I have a drawer that locks with protein bars, hand lotion, tea, and a makeup bag with toothbrush, pills, etc.

I just don't want it...out there, you know? Actually, you probably don't. I understand that I am a freak when it comes to my workspace!

No, I can understand that. I thought you didn't HAVE any of those things with you at work at ALL, which was freaking me out, man.

Nooooo, that would be sad. I just don't have anything out so that someone could tell it was my desk just by looking at it. Well, except for the post-it notes, but those aren't exactly personal. :)
