Today at work I had to eat my soup with a teaspoon.
It was a frustrating experience. It occurred because of a lack of resources (i.e. normal-sized spoons). The teaspoon was an inadequate alternative, particularly because some of the vegetables in my soup were bigger than teaspoon-size. Whilst I achieved my goal of consuming my soup, it was a lengthy experience and my enjoyment was diminished.
Eventually I found a cheap, plastic spoon in my desk drawer. This wasn't as shiny and smooth as the teaspoon but at least it allowed me to get a reasonable mouthful of soup.
I can see this might prove to be a useful analogy some day.

Yes, it's happened with forks here too. In fact it's usually forks although we seem to have a few of them at the moment. Admin have been out and bought entire new cutlery sets and yet somehow the forks (or in this case the spoons) still go missing. It's crazy!
