Doing my first commute *to* work tomorrow morning - what do I bring?

I plan on leaving in the morning and riding 17 miles to work. I'll eat something before I go, but I have showers at work, so I'm thinknig I'll use those.

I have a messenger bag that I'll be carrying my stuff in. I'd like to keep it as light as possible, so i'm only going to bring what I'm actually going to use, not equipment for every possible eventuality. I've got enough tools to fix a tire. If anything worse than that happens, I'm walking.

So, stuff to bring:
Change of clothes to work in.
tire-fixing tools
keys/wallet/phone/stuff I always carry with me anyway.

Towel? If I'm showering, I'll need to dry off. This seems pretty bulky so I should probably find somewher eI can store it at work.
Deorodorant for after showering. I can get a spare one of these and leave it at work so I don't have to carry it every day.

I'm riding platform pedals, so I don't need to worry about extra shoes.


Let me know anything i'm forgetting.
