The Survival Kit: getting you through office “emergencies”

A lot of unexpected things can happen in the course of a day at the office—and making it through an office emergency can be difficult. So don’t wait until disaster strikes. It’s a smart idea to have office survival kits prepared for you and your fellow employees.

Here’s one final survival kit for when things get really rough: Creative ways to destroy your boss.

However, if you’d like to make your own custom kit for the office, here’s some ideas on what to put in it:

Creating a custom office survival kit

Rather than having to MacGyver something out of Scotch tape and plastic forks from the office pantry, pick up some of items on this list so you’re prepared for anything your workplace throws at you.

Deodorant: What happens when all that sweat wipes away your morning antiperspirant? Just reach into your desk and reapply – your coworkers will thank you.

Tide Pen: Accidents happen. At least once during the day, you’re liable to spill something on yourself. Enter the Tide pen, the miracle tool you’ll never be without again.

Spare Umbrella: What do you mean it’s raining out? That wasn’t on the forecast. Well, shit happens. So don’t get caught out in the cold without any protection. A compact umbrella that’s easy to store in a desk can save your bacon.

Energy Bars: The day can get really long and sometimes you need to power through lunch. You don’t want to get tired and screw up your work. Make sure to stash a few in your desk drawer for when you get hangry.

First Aid Kit: Do you really want to be running around the office when you cut your finger on an envelope, or accidentally staple your thumb to a document?

Aspirin: Headaches. We all get them. And the only thing worse than a bad headache is having it at work.

Pocket Notebook: Meetings tend to come out of nowhere. Don’t panic trying to find something to write on, pick up a cheap-o notebook that you can keep handy.

$20: $10 and a couple $5 bills are good to have around for emergencies. Maybe you forgot your lunch or a colleague is collecting donations for a sick coworker? You never know.

Booze: Just because.
