Briefcase essentials:
1. A book. Hopefully it’s good.
2. Notebook. Of the Moleskine variety.
3. Pen. Black. Multiple.
4. Pencils.
5. Excedrin. I swear by this headache medicine.
6. Calling card. Not to be confused with business card.
7. USB key. Decent size and speed.
8. Breath mints/Gum
9. Digital camera
10. Handkerchief/Tissue

I think those would be briefcase essentials. I feel like phones go in the pocket for much easier access. Pocket knives should also go in the…pocket.

I have longed ditched the backpack and opted to use a saddlebag made out of canvas that I got at a National Broadcaster Association forum. Inside this “friendly sidekick” I carry items that I need, will need and hope I need.

1) Laptop
2) Laptop Charger
3) USB cable to turn phone into modem if there is no WiFi
4) Altoids
5) At least a dollar in change
6) USB drive (the resume addition is brilliant)
7) Business cards
8) A good book
9) computer mouse (in case the urge strikes to play GTA)
10) GTA CD-Rom
11) Cross pens (at least two)
12) If single, two condoms in the most hidden of compartments
13) Eye drops
14) Small sewing kit
15) Small container of body spray
16) Contact lense case and saline solution (travel size)
17) Foreign Policy or Texas Monthly magazine

I also am an audio engineer and keep a few job specific items in my briefcase:

An SPL meter, a iPhone/iPod to xlr adapter and xlr to RCA to 1/4″ adapters, good headphones, ear plugs, some gaff or duct tape, and of course, a sharpie.

I also tend to carry a hiking 1st aid kit, lighter, knife, and an iPod charger cable…you can find USB ports most any where and they don’t take up much room.
