CFP: Academic Baggage

Most of us academics have items that we have to schlep around on a daily basis: laptop, a library book or two, a research file, car keys, etc.  What is your preferred method of carry?  Do you opt for a purse and a backpack or a briefcase or large tote?  Do you opt for a briefcase or a backpack?  Do you wheel around campus?

If you are an academic on the job market this year, this is something worth giving some consideration.  Perhaps the MLA, the APA, the AHA, or other convention where job interviews take place is not the venue for your "I Heart NY" canvas tote bag or your Hello Kitty messenger bag (yes, I do own a Hello Kitty messenger bag).  You will want a briefcase or tote that is large enough to carry copies of CVs, sample syllabi, etc., but is not so cavernous or disorganized that you have to spend awkward moments digging in your bag for them.
