I think I need a wheelbarrow to go off to work. I know I'm not going to get a purse to carry all this stuff.

Coronado vest. You've pretty much described the contents of mine, except that I also have my VE nametag in there. (and mine is the Safari style, which doesn't appear to be listed anymore)

As a bonus, if I have a sudden emergency come up, I can just throw on the vest and go. Pants optional.

This is an excellent reason to spend the $30 on a voice recorder, and start it as soon as you become aware of a problem. Even if it doesn't pick up everything they say clearly, your exact words will be well documented.

Several of the low-priced models don't allow in-unit editing, so you would be unable to, for example, pause recording while you yell something then restart recording to the same file afterwards or cut out a section of a recording afterward. That limitation can work in your favor if it goes to court. In fact, if your unit doesn't allow it, it might be a good idea to write a letter to the company asking if it can, and file their response where you (or someone who can get it to your attorney) can find it in a hurry if needed.
