Work bags – what do you have and what's in it?

I thought this might be an interesting topic for people: you often see requests for advice for what kind of bag to get, but I thought it might be cool to see what people actually use and how.

Mine is a tan briefcase my parents bought from Florence as a birthday present. I've got my work laptop, mouse, and charger, two phone chargers (one for my work phone, one for my personal), and a couple of notebooks. Front pocket has expense bags, stamps, envelopes, spare batteries for my mouse; inside pockets have my business cards, calculator (HP-12C for extra preftige points), two black pens, a red one, a green one, my work pass, and usually a stick of gum and a pack of smokes. Phones are generally in my suit jacket with my wallet and keys. I don't usually have loads of papers in there because that's why god invented PDFs and workstations with two screens.

Now you go.
