Our office has a bunch of high-end iMacs as workstations and a MacPro as a server, but the equipment that gives me the most headaches is our motley collection of field tools. We have two banker's boxes full of carpenter's rulers, tape measures, flashlights, awls, cameras, work gloves, and so on. On any given day I'll need some or all of those and the question comes up: how the hell do you carry it? Most briefcases and shoulder bags work very badly with irregularly-shaped objects and I've tried a bunch.
This month's experiment, a "contractor's briefcase." Less than $30 and nylon, so how bad could it be? This picture shows the "office side" of the bag; the "equipment side" has bigger pockets.

where would one obtain one of these?
AFAF.
Got mine thru the innertubes from the Lewis Equipment Co in Michigan. It's a "Bucket Boss Contractor's Briefcase" model 6005.
I'll say this for Lewis: one-day delivery on standard shipping. It came this morning.
It came this morning.
TOTALLY TMI.
TOTALLY TMI.
I've never been inside a nuclear power plant.
Where's the Goddamn Batman when you need him?
If we repeal that damn 13th Amendment you could buy a real solution to this problem.
I was just kidding.
