1. Ohh! Get a messenger bag!
That's what I use for school; much easier access, and you don't have to heave it over your back.

2. I tried some messenger bags, but I think they'd be worse.
40 pounds of law books, 5 pounds of laptop, 5 more pounds of assorted other crap...I'd develop a permanent lean. :hurts:

4. There are some people here with backpacks AND laptop bags.

6. Someone at my company has a briefcase on wheels...
Kinda weird looking, but it's less to carry.

"Stacie, can you identify the controlling legal issue in State v. Hughes."

"I can find the answer in my backpack! Everyone, say backpack! Say backpack!"
