The backpacks of an implementer vs an innovation specialist

After two days on the job, I don't think I know enough to post a full review (beyond saying 18F is wonderful and I'm so excited to learn more), but here's a starting point.

In my backpack with Epic:

• Laptop, so that you can work anywhere with wifi
• MiFi, so that you have fast wifi everywhere
• Headphones (with attached mic) to do calls while walking between planes
• Semi-wrapped laptop cord for plugging in everywhere
• A pack of Epic pens, which seem to disappear onsite
• Home car keys (rental car keys are in my pocket)
• Business cards
• Pack with toothbrush and other "if my bag gets lost" nesssities

In my backpack with 18F:

• Water bottle, so that I don't have to buy another bottle at lunch
• Umbrella, since GSA doesn't have thousands of free underground packing spaces and I'm taking a bus to work (learned that lesson today)
• Book/Nook for the bus
• My letter paper DC license while they print a new small one

The move to DC has simplified my working life, and I appreciate that. :)
