[MUSIC PLAYING]
SPEAKER: Laptop, pen, coffee.
You may think you're ready to go
to work, but there's more
to office life than just
these essentials.
Here are three things to keep
at your desk.
Number one, food supply.
You know the saying, "garbage
in, garbage out"?
Well, you need healthy food
to give you the energy
to do good work.
And unfortunately, you're
probably not going to find that
in your nearby vending machine.
So keep nuts, fruit, or oatmeal
in a drawer
and skip the high-sugar or junk
foods.
Otherwise, you'll just find
yourself curling up and giving
into that midafternoon energy
crash.
Number two, skin supplies.
Lotion for dry hands, lip balm
for chapped lips, even a nail
file for a quick hang nail
can make your day so much more
comfortable.
Cucumbers are optional.
Number three, first aid kit.
Work can be a pain.
And we all know there's no pain
worse than the dreaded paper
cut.
Make like the boy scouts
and always be prepared
with a couple of necessities
at your desk.
Bandages, antibiotic cream,
and don't forget the all
important pain relievers.
Use what you need, but be
sure to save some supplies
for next time.
With these three things
at your desk, you'll be the most
prepared employee
at your company.
You may even get a merit badge.
