How can we be out of forks?

About three weeks ago our office receptionist left...She had been here for many years and put up with a lot of crap. She started out as only a receptionist, but of course, as everyone here in the office knows, she was completely taken advantage of...By the end she was doing the work of about three or four people. One day she had enough and she quit -- good for her!

Since her leave however, the office has started to administratively fall apart...
We no longer have notebooks, or pens...Immediately after her departure her desk was pillaged of anything worth while -- I managed to steal some liquid paper -- the kind in the plastic thing that doesn't glob up like white out. I stole two of them, and a pen! Now there is nothing left...Not even a pack of post-its. No one knows where to put the printer paper, so the copy room looks like a fort...There are four towers of paper that now stand about as high as me (I am about 5'6").
Office supplies are not the only things falling apart around here...There is no longer coffee readily supplied in the kitchen, I have resorted to bringing in my own coffee, after two days of coming into the office only to find an empty pot, and a bag containing coffee ground remnants (an uncaffeinated C is a bad thing)

I discovered yet another thing we have run out of...Forks. The plastic fork holder only had two forks left yesterday, so I went on a search to find more...Only to come up with nothing.
As of this morning, there were none left...Not sure if I can eat my salad for lunch with a spoon or a knife, but I might not have any other options...Fingers, but eating with them tends to be frowned upon in this culture!

Of course I don't see a way to fix this issue...There really isn't anyone in the building who I can see caring about the needs of the employees, or better yet the happiness of employees...So it looks like I will have to supply my own plastic forks from now on...Just as I have done with the coffee. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job?! Cause, really this is a great place to work! ;-)

as long as we don't run out of fpoons then there will be no problems.

A copy paper fort? I love it!

Also, this is too funny. This is like '50s-era mom leaving husband and sons to fend for themselves. (And several scenes in "Pleasantville," come to think of it.)
