Good accessories for the office?

for shizz.

I wouldn't buy your own chair ... you'll look like the biggest tool rolling it into the office and up the elevator. Personally, I keep my IPOD, a toothbrush etc., a complete change of work clothes, a sweater (it is freezing on the weekend), an extra briefcase in case i want to bring stuff home and work there, and various other things. I bought a "pencil holder" of sorts that helps keep paper clips and the like organized. All of this stuff is pretty key as I don't need to go home for anything.

anyone buy their own monitor?

sneakers, brown and black dress shoes

why would you keep extra dress shoes at the office?

i usually wear sneakers to the office --- then switch into dress shoes.

Clip fan. Keeps you cool and awake.

Laptop stand. Stands your laptop vertically so that the screen is closer to eye level.

Computer speakers. For rocking out at 2 in the morning.

First off...you do not bring anything you buy it, besides an ipod and personal hygiene stuffon company tab when you're there. Also, if you bring your own chair I would hope you got fired. What you need is a toothbrush, tide pen to fight stains, sneakers, gym clothes, also brooks brothers has this button replacement thing it is great because one time I hit the button between my cuff and shoulder on a button down by hitting it on my desk and it helped me cos I had a pitch that day.

Forgot about my tide pen. That thing rocks (i whipped it out one day and saved my MD's shirt, he had never heard of it before).

I dont lie.

ROTFL!

I have floss, extra work socks (whatever those knee high tights are called), regular tights (I'm a girl), purple and black flats (I wear sneakers to work then change), loose change, mouthwash, sewing kit, lip gloss, blush and that is about it.

The Tide pen is so clutch. It has saved me many times.
My desk: Tide pen, set of dress clothes, set of street clothes, deoderant, gym clothes/shower kit, toothbrush/paste, Mp3 player.

I hope anyone saying they wear sneakers to work does not pee standing up.

Whenever I see a guy doing that I actually laugh out loud at how ridiculous it looks.

Certainly need
Tide Pen
computer speakers are great
keep all your chargers at work. Charging a phone at home is a little optimistic
purell
abacus
spare ties in case you stain one and the tide pen fails you

Eye drops for those days your eyes get all red from looking at the screen too long. Ah....I *heart* those days.

anyone buy their own monitor?

Why on earth would you buy your own monitor? Just break it and tell the tech dept to get you a new one (provided you have a semi-functional spare to tide you over, since it's guaranteed to take them two weeks to requisition you a new one).

because the monitors at work are quite small... and cause a lot of eyestrain, esp for large ppt and excel files... is it so odd to blow a few hundred on a larger and better monitor?

Well I said that because I have 2 20" LCD flat screens provided to me.
