As an adjunct professor you rarely have much of an office. You might have access to printer services or a printer. You may have a desk and a room. But much of the time, you have nothing. So what's an adjunct to do?
I have heard of people that have the trunk of their car organized for each campus, for those that work multiple campuses. I once had a rolly bag full of everything I thought I would need. But it always came up short. And now, my classes are at bad hours (nothing is open) and I have no office. So I am re-evaluating what I need again.
Right now, I have my Big Red Book, my Chrome book, and a few office supplies in my bag. What I am planning to eventually include are the BRB, a laptop, portable scanner and printer, possibly a small projector, and office supplies in a bag. That's a lot of stuff. But it is stuff I need at weird times, like needing to print out something because I am short something, needing to scan in student papers so I don't lose anything, and a million other things.
One day, maybe, adjuncts will be treated more equitably within the college structure and we won't have to plan out how to create the best traveling office.
