Briefcase or backpack
I remember when I “upgraded” from a backpack to a messenger bag / briefcase type thing. I felt so grown up. “It’s in my briefcase,” I’d say with half-hidden glee.
Well, now I’m old. And you know what? Backpacks are better. You can ride on your bike with them, they hold more, there are special ones designed for notebook PCs, and what the hell do I care what other people think? So I’m switching back to a backpack. So there.

I did the same thing, buying a messenger bag for my first office job. Gave up on that after a few months. A backpack was and is way more convenient. Besides, all the C-level guys in my company had backpacks anyway, so I didn’t need to look or feel more professional.

What’s a “C-level” guy? I have a feeling I should know this already.

[…] Today, I slept. And some motherfucker stole my backpack. […]
