I'm going to pimp my kinja blog post and suggest that you also try a geologist field bag. The last bag shown in part two is awesome (and mine)

The downside of being first is that you may get forgotten by the time the 5 interview happens. So I'd suggest being the first person or the last person if you can some how figure out a way to do it.

For Outlook - embrace the Quick Steps functions. One click and categorized, filed, sent to the right person and a follow up added.

Hot water and soap after every use for me. The only special treatment my pan gets is to be dried off with paper towel or dried by putting it on a hot stove or in the oven.

Mice are the least of my worries, I have a zone that's basically for the Raccoons and a zone for the chipmunks that live there.

to make something like this easier to build at home most DIY stores will do some of the cutting of plywood for you. If you go on a Friday night they lumber guy is usually bored silly and will make far more cuts than the 2 free cuts limit.

I use my Surface RT for work a lot but only for lightweight work. I'll put a memo into my OneNote 'book?' at work then review it at home on my Surface. Or I'll write up an email that I'll send when I get into work. Nothing that is confidential nor anything that I need the full i5 power for.

I'm starting to like it. The only thing missing is the web clipping capability from Chrome similar to Evernote. At least I not aware of it.

It's also good for starting fires.

ok, I did it this afternoon. I was at the dealer so I simply asked.

Let's not forget that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

My wife and I do. We both worked hard for our degrees and I think its fine to show case them in our home office.

I have wet naps and liquid ibuprofen for migraines.

I used to do this but I don't think I could fix anything on my car in an emergency. I keep some screwdrivers and a pair of small visegrips but that's for 'repairing' other stuff.

A three D cell maglite will work too, and does double duty as a flashlite.

I have no idea where my battery is on our new car. I keep forgetting to look it up.

I put all my 'emergency' supplies in wicker basket that has a lid. It keeps everything from sliding about.

I have an account at a credit union specifically because it's not easy to get too. With a monthly pre-arranged withdrawal it's an easy way to create a savings fund that we can use for non-day to day stuff.

that gave me the GIGGLES, +1
