Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone travel with a surge protector thingy? A guy here just plugged a two socket one into one of the scarce outlets here. Great idea. I could stand to be charging my phone and my tablet at the same time. Never mind the ipod and the Nook.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, I do. I have one that the plug in bit folds down into the body, and then there's two outlets and a usb socket. It is to love.

Not that I travel much, but when I do I carry one of these - I got it after it was recommended here. Very handy!

I have contemplated it, but I don't. I was irked that a year or two ago for Christmas or something, my bosses sent us all surge protectors...but not a nice useful one like that. No USB ports and too big to be super useful.

Isn't there a rule that any corporate presents - especially ones that are given en masse - have to be pretty much useless. Possibly expensive, but definitely useless. And, if at all possible, ugly.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
And un-regiftable.

One advantage of the corporate present of the world's ugliest umbrella is that I haven't managed to lose it in 20 years.

Well, the year before we got a blanket with the company log and my name sewn in it. It's actually not bad--it's soft and comfy and machine washable, so I use it on the couch a lot.
I also many years ago got a picnic basket/cooler thing once (it's a soft sided cooler, and there's a pocket that zips open to reveal two cups/plates/silverware). I liked that one.
...most of the rest, useless, and at some point I ditched the literal paperweights because, really?!?
