A very dull experiment.
Because I am a lady, I travel about town with a purse filled with stuff — gadgets, cords, toiletries, pens. For its relatively compact size, it’s pretty heavy, and when I walk with it it’s exposed to the elements. Thus this morning, rainy as it was, I decided to test my purse’s necessity for daily life and head to work without it — nothing in my rain jacket’s pockets but my phone, keys, earbuds and wallet.
Here are the things I have missed so far today:
- My security badge (whoops)
- Hand lotion (got some from a co-worker, wish I had more)
- Comb (no amount of finger-combing will save my hair today)
- Lip balm (how can a rainy day leave me feeling so dried out?)
- ETA: My glasses case (especially when walking outside)
Result: I’m much more girly than I thought. But I’m surviving. I guess this is what it’s like to be a guy — free, unencumbered. A lifestyle only possible when you’re rich in pockets.
