My backpack has been packed:

Two laptops (one for work, one for not) + accessories
A change of clothes
A DE9-RJ45 console cable
Power bank
A bunch of access keycards

The composite-toe airport-friendly safety shoes are by the door waitingforme. I'm abnormally early in getting ready this time, because my backpack was mostly packed from my previous work trip. So now I'm sitting in my bed for the next hour, before it's time to hop in ky car and drive to the airport.

For the next couple of days I'll be on a short work trip, the kind I usually do once or twice a month, and thebkids and my GF know that I'll be back on Wednesday.

I'll be in transit most of the day, but there's a rental car and a hotel waiting for me on the other side. Tomorrow will mostly be spent working inside shipping containers, with my laptop plugged into various network hardware and servers that will soon be lifted onboard a ship.
