Tablespoons at Work: Ultra-Serious Employment Law Guide 🥄
Tablespoons at work are one of the most difficult to locate and investment-heavy investments an employer like yourself can ever make. The products can be purchased in bulk, but you can guarantee within months a batch of 300 will be down to 3. Then that’s when the furious, enraged fighting between members of staff begins.
To avoid pitched battle in the workplace over limited tablespoons, you need to ensue you have a robust business strategy to ensure kitchen utensils and cutlery are overflowing to the maximum. In this expert guide, we explain how the bloody hell you can do that.
How to Avoid Workplace Tablespoon Hell
This matter is legislated by The Tablespoons at Work Act 1974, not to be confused with The Spoons at Work Act 1974, nor The Prunes at Work Act 1974 (prunes sounding somewhat similar to “spoons”). There’s also The Spume at Work Act 1974, which is also unrelated to The Tablespoons at Work Act 1974.
With that confusion cleared up, let it be known that The Tablespoons at Work Act 1974 is a subset of The Cutlery at Work Act 1974, which also covers popular kitchen items such as:
- Forks
- Knives
- Ladles
- Spatulas
- Whisks
- Ice cube trays
- Bazookas
The Act relating to the Act for this Act-related guide is, subsequently, worth noting for section 137 (a) on page 1,435. Verbatim:
“Tablespoon losses amount (and amounts) to fewer caffeinated beverages in the workplace. When fewer employees are smacked up on society’s most legally acceptable drug, this leads to listlessness, drowsiness, and a lack of productivity. Ensure you have many tablespoons proliferating throughout your organisation. Tablespoons are essential to ensure communism does not consume us all.”
As you can see, therefore, and hence; these utensils are vital. Otherwise, how is an employee supposed to stir their beverage? With a finger!? That may result in third-degree burns to the affected finger, which would undoubtedly result in an employment tribunal against your business, after which you’d close down and live in a muddy ditch.
As this is a matter of life or death, you should immediately abandon this paragraph in favour of the section below. For therein lies some facts (and not lies) about how to avoid business bedlam and Bolshevism.
Strategies for Ensuring You Don’t Run Out of Tablespoons at Work
There are many and varied (myriad) strategies that shall prevent the lack of tablespoons in thine business premises. The most immediate and effective strategy is to ensure you have enough tablespoons in thine business. Buying on bulk (en masse) is highly recommend by Capitalisme (the God of Capitalism).
Capitalisme also states within his Ultimate Doctrine of 1974-Based Employment Law Acts the following. Verbatim:
“I, Capitalisme, bestow forth onto business owners tablespoons. Use them to slake the caffeinated desires of thine employees. A caffeinated employee is a happy employee and, therefore, ripe for exploitation. HARK!!! Give them low-budget granulated coffee and thee shall succeed with billions.”
Professional Moron contacted Capitalisme directly for a quote on the meaning of his original quote. He replied via email stating this (verbatim):
“Fuck off you bastards!!!!”
We guess we caught Capitalisme on a bad day. We apologise to the God of Capitalism and urge him to not wreak vengeance on the Professional Moron office again. For we’ve had enough of that over the last 14 years thank you very much.
Conclusion: Ensure There are Tablespoons
The only logical solution to this crisis is to buy many, many tablespoons for your workplace. If you, say, already have 100… then THAT IS NOT ENOUGH! Buy more. Make it 1,000, not 100, for the fate of obscene avarice and delusions of grandeur sits on those diddy little tablespoons.
It’s good business practice to purchase at least 10,000 of them. Keep the surplus amount in the office basement or something. Whatever prevents the wrath of Capitalisme and enternal damnation to Capitalism Hell (i.e. minimum wage).

It takes so long…
I'm in a splint now, which I need to wear like a cast. I may take it off very carefully to exchange the cotton tube under the plastic splint, when it gets too wet. I've done that once now, and it was rather difficult and a bit painful as well. So I hope I can get better at it, as the wounds heal up better. But typing goes so slowly these days. There is a slight improvement with the splint, as the casts were causing more difficulty when I tried to type a bit. But still, I feel like simple texts take ages to complete. And that they take more spoons as well. […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/08/15/it-takes-so-long/

Lower limits…
...less spoons... As I start writing this post, Koa has been with me for 11½ weeks. I've not had a real proper sleep since he came to live with me. I know that I would "lose out" on "some" sleep, but I had hoped that the broken nights would get better a bit sooner than as it's going now... Often, we still have to go out twice during our nights. It breaks me, as it's hard to get decent rest from your sleep, when you're woken up every few hours. I have never been someone to sleep through the whole night, as I often need my own potty break. But, I nip in the loo, so my thing, and am back in bed before I know it. With a puppy, it's not that quickly done, and I'm more awake before I can get back to bed... […] -

1. Absolutely, totally wiped out from championship-level (for me) #masking and socialising last night. I think I played the slightly awkward but normal husband adequately, but it always hits me later and harder than I remember. #Autism #spoons
2. Finally found what's been causing one of my tyres to gradually lose pressure (34psi to 10psi over 4 weeks) - big nail, as usual. Roads are not swept here. I'll get it patched tomorrrow.
3. Saw this rather beautiful little fern growing on one of our coconut palms. #FernFriday #Nature #NaturePhotography

Busy day today ahead of a busy weekend.

Then 6hr round trip Sunday for 2nd viewing on house we like.🤞I know I can get it done, but I know next week will be tricky for me.

@farah The upshot is I now have 'Epo' injections that stimulate red blood cell production so my blood count is close to normal. Unfortunately I still get very tired. I don't think I have CFS/ME/Long COVID but I do have kidney and liver problems and am recovering from 2 cancers so some days, like this morning I feel someone has stolen all my #spoons #SpoonTheory #TATT

Not a good day today.
Not exactly bad as I did do a chore & I did finally get some shelves moved upstairs & in the position I need them.
Annoyed looking into my phone & internet provider options got shunted as that's pretty important & a couple of other tasks that I'd hope to finally make a start on after months of not doing it.All because I woke up, rolled over, fell asleep again & then woke up with less time & dice than I needed.
Why I've been a bit absent from here today.Hope I have the dice & spoons & time to deal with tomorrow as with extra tasks added on top of the usual things I deal with on Fridays it's going to be a proper 'mare.

1 I have a folder on my desktop "Temporary Pictures". It has photo I've edited or put aside to use for something later. It's a eclectic mixture. So, one a day, in the order they are in the folder #TemporaryPictures.
Two horn #spoons from the museum in Launceston. Their accompanying information says they were made at Port Arthur (prison settlement) but I have my doubts about this.
The right spoon is apparently typical of those made for institutional use in Britain. The left one is typical of a spoon made to imitate a silver spoon, probably intended for domestic use (maybe in a household that wants the latest fashion but doesn't have the income)
Horn spoons were made by flattening and heating (usually cattle) horn one end in a mould. With the right the skills and equipment, they're cheaper to make/sell than a metal spoon.
I've found no evidence so far that spoons/cutlery of any sort was made at Port Arthur.Or that horn spoons were ever made in Tasmania (or Australia for that matter). They were imported and they were used in NSW institutions.
In a society where everything was imported, you'd think there'd be a market for goods that could be made easily from readily available materials.

#AuDHD #ADHD #Autism #ExecutiveDysfunction #TaskParalysis
You know what most often gets me stuck? Dependencies. This can happen in programming, in DIY, in housework, anything really.
This is how it goes:
I need to do A. Ah, but in order to do A, I have to do B first. Oh damn, before I can do B, I have to do C. And oh shit, C is pointless until I do D (this sometimes continues through half the alphabet...)
By the time I've worked out all the dependencies so I know what has to come first, I'm screwed. Motivation has left the building. The list is longer than I have the #spoons for, my sense of future time has disappeared and I shut down.
Now I'm writing about it, probably the best thing is to just try and do the first task *but* ignore the fact that all the others depend on it. But it's easy to forget that when you're in the thick of it, your anxiety is building and your spoons are disappearing left and right.

Another example of end-stage capitalism griding you down.
Forbes has removed their leaky API I relied on to stay informed of the realtime billionaires list.
I need to know why they are on there. What transactions lead up to this? Then I can follow that back through the trail of destruction.
It saves me time.
I have #MECFS via #LongCovid, and so I have very little energy. I also live in a covid-denying society where I have no choice but work my body to death in order to survive. They seem to have made their markup nearly unscrapable, and I just don't have the #spoons right now to figure out a workaround.
If anyone is hip to a daily data source of the billionaires I am all ears! Just one small pull a day from a single user.
That's like... asking for the tip of a hotdog from a Manhattan-sized butcher.*
*Like, the location is literally the size of Manhattan. Probably thousands of actual mutalators would be butchers, there.

Add these to the list of things I thought would be a huge part of my adult life, along with ghosts, whirlpools, and quicksand. https://youtube.com/shorts/GD3Iz353_Ls?si=x-ww1zDfm53vquAW

Doing it on my own…
...and it's hard, but I think it's going well... As I mentioned in previous posts, I have raised two choccy Labs (both girls), before I got my little dude Koa. But, when we had Chance, my first choccy gall, I had two partners, and we divided the chores, or we did them together. It made the "load" a lot lighter, and easier to handle. When we got Arwen, my second choccy gall, it was my then fiancée and me. So we could also divide the chores, and do things together. And now, it's just me. Me and my first dude, an alpha personality at that. My health is not as good as it was 13 years ago. I knew what I was "signing up" for, it wasn't my first rodeo, as they say. But, I guess I didn't realize how it would be a lot harder, doing it on my own. But! I am not complaining. This is all part of our journey together, and by providing Koa with the best start of that journey now, I do hope that the base will be strong and solid for the (hopefully) many years to come. 🐾❤️ […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/doing-it-on-my-own/

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to MEAction Network (https://www.meaction.net/) and Visible (https://www.makevisible.com/) for the Visible band I won last month 👍 Having had ME/CFS for over 15 years I thought I knew everything about pacing but the Visible band has even taught this old dog some new tricks. Very cool 😎

Ornate spoons, Lithuania, 19th century AD?
