Three Things
For those of us that are actually on air daily or have been in the past I present the following thread.
Name three things you could not get through a board shift without. Mine would be
1. Coffee (I am Dave in the MORNING after all)
2. Three writing instruments ( One pen, one Sharpie, one highlighter..don't ask)
3. Post-It Notes

Titties and beer...thank God almighty for titties and beer!

Since I was just a board operator, the three things would be:
1. Two-liter of Big K soft drink (that's where I got my caffeine instead of the cans in the vending machine.)
2. Sunday Gazette-Mail for the larger crossword puzzle.
3. Small can of Whiskas cat food for the stray that hung around the outside of the station (Bill the cat, named after the Bloom County character). He just got the dry food from the office staff the rest of the week.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to point out that caffeine is a diuretic and, thus, can easily send your voice in the raspy direction. If you're going to be consuming caffeine before and/or during voice work, you might want to be downing fairly significant amounts of plain water at the same time to try to avoid a dry mouth and/or throat.
As an added benefit, you will find, over time, that you are able to go farther and farther without stopping while making roadtrips.
Real conversation:
Longtime female friend -- "You must have a huge bladder."
Me -- "I think I probably do now, yeah. But, unfortunately, the 'huge' stops right there."
(It was on a multi-car, group roadtrip, and I never wanted to stop...stupid females and their tiny, little bladders, though.....stop every couple of hours! Killed my "making incredible time" average speed, those females did! )
Okay, back to reality..............

1. A .35 cent RC (used to be a freakin quarter) from the vendomatic.
2. A pen, pencil, or other writing instrument typically brought in from the car because these were nowhere to be found.
3. Someone's headphones. I could never seem to remember mine. Don't bother with Big John's, though. He would coyly leave them available to the free world in his production box but they never worked.
Also, a working DCS was beneficial. This was often more difficult to come across than a working, usable writing instrument.

Three Other Things.
1. Never leave your headphones where someone else can get them. I lock mine in my office.
2. Same with your lucky pen.
3. Never wash your coffee cup. It keeps people from using/stealing it.
I wash mine twice a year. Sure, I know you're saying, "but the germs",
but they're MY germs.

1. Coffee
2. A bag of "Wallace's Wash Pot Pork Skins"
3. "Giorgio Moroder: The Best Of The Early Years" CD
Please keep in mind that the ingestion of three Yann's Hot Dogs must FOLLOW your airshift and not occur prior to or during. George Turley always used to say that "the worst thing to ever happen to radio announcers in Fairmont was to put THAT hot dog stand within 200 feet of a radio station (WMMN)"...
