Anybody else have a problem with carrying around a working pen?
When I put a pen in my pants pocket it either leaks or stops working after a few days. So I've resorted to carrying around a pencil!
They sell these teeny tiny pens (about the size of those pencils you keep score with at like a minigolf place)... I think they are made especially for people going out looking for numbers. At one point in my life I used to carry a few tiny slips of paper with my number on it... just in case... now I just have my business card (oh god how lame is it to drop a card on someone...?) but I do that more to promote myself, not to give out my number. With cellphones today, it's rare that you even need a pen to give or get a number anymore.
As for what I always carry with ME... as a female, I have the benefit of being able to carry a purse (although I hate them because they are so annoying)... I try to carry the smallest possible... I actually have one so tiny that it only fits my cellphone, my ID, and a few dollars. Depending on the size of my bag, depends on what I carry... but no matter what I always always have...
my cellphone
my ID & an ATM/Debit/Credit card
some cash
listerine strips or gum
condoms
If there's more room I might also have ...
a pic of my kid
business cards
keys (I usually hide one around my property rather than carry)
lipstick
lollipop (yes I have an oral fixation problem)
weed
camera
(not in that particular order)
