This was a great conversation on my Facebook page starting with this post:
I got a question on my website today about a "Managers Survival Kit" and I just seen one for a groom (shopping for my daughters wedding)! Here is the Groom kit - let's create ideas for a "Managers Survival Kit"-- OK - what do you think they need????????
Here is what is in the Groom Kit: Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Dental Floss, Mints, Deodorant, Pain Reliever, Antacid, Facial Tissues, Razor, Shaving Cream, Styptic Pencil, Nail Clipper, Adhesive Bandages, Interior Mirror, Lint Remover, Mending K...it, Scissors, Safety Pins, Boutonniere Pins, Stain Remover, Wrinkle Remover, Black Socks, Extra Wedding Bands, Stress Ball Keychain
Heather Blume Mgr Survival kit starts with 8 hour rapid release Tylenol capsules. Add in 15 packs of Post it Notes, safety pins, superglue, Mr. Clean Magic eraser, Granny reading glasses (for reading spreadsheets) and I think, most essential, a Magic 8 Ball.
Angie Hamp-Hagert Crutches, Valium, a Hard Hat, are a few items that I can think of, lol!
Lindsay Hubbard Booth Excedrin, Clorox wipes, and chocolate for a start.
Patty Blum Crawford I think all good manager kits come with a great maintenance person!! It's going to be a big box!
VistaShores Greystar band aids, measuring tape, hand sanitizer, permanent marker (works double for when you scuff your heels), and bug spray. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head right now.

Time out chair and a Great sense of humor! That should at least get you through the 1st day!
Linda Crouch prozac for the boss
Dustin White Ticket to Mexico!
Drenda Martin Coffee, Tylenol, headphones (sound proof, of course, just in case she/he needs a callgon moment), good music to liven the soul, and something to let the stress out (maybe a soundproof box they could scream in, just on the bad days, cause they all aren't bad!)
Renee Caron Emergency slide -- will that fit in that little box?
