Here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for... *drumroll*... it's the third and final installment in the thrilling saga of Cougar's Drawers(tm)!
Third drawer contains; emergency coffee; emergency sugar; emergency tea bags; emergency ketchup; an air duster aerosol (non-emergency); a scouring pad; a spindle of blank CDs; an official, mandatory-use corporate branded mouse-mat (not while I've got a hole in my arse); a lump of unidentifiable black plastic something that came off something else and will probably be very important if I ever throw it away; a PC speaker on a flying lead for testing purposes (so I can check for POST beeps); the box my phone came in (so it can go back in it).

I don't have a top drawer but my lorry does have a glove box so it contains...
Small map of UK
Map of London
ketchup
Brown sauce
Various chargers
Handbook for said lorry
Card for break down serviceIt would of had a copy of razzle but with the advent of the smartphone the jazz mag is almost redundant.

That's a lot of emergencies there - got a tin foil hat as well?Posted 1 year ago # -
My draw at work contains a spare tie, name badge, safety shoes, bakers hat, and then all the paperwork (crap junk) out of my pigeon hole. I have a weekly chore of moving it from my pigeon hole to my draw then once a year i empty the draw to the bin!

3 more random items:
berkshire shared services cleaning policy folder from when this place used to be a day hospital
a book on mass murderers (same drawer as the stanley knife)
an advert for prescription wigs
