If you are like me, you may find yourself locked away at your office for hours and days on end. At which point, you may need to find creative ways to survive. 🙂 Today, I bring you tip #1:

Whatever Works, Bro!

It seems that this tip tends to occur around meal logistics. Like, when I bring something for lunch/dinner, but forget to bring the necessary dishes/utensils. This happens more often than you might think.

Today, I had brought in some soup, but neglected to think that I might need a bowl and a spoon to eat it. So I looked in the kitchen cupboards and found a bowl-shaped object and a spoon. Score!

As you can see, I think I’m eating out of someone’s grandma’s candy dish, but I’m making it work! (Plus, as a side benefit, it makes a lovely clinking sound as I dine, almost like we are being all fancy up in here!)

Another fine example of this is the Coffee Filter Popcorn Bowl:

What odds and ends have you found around the office to make a meal happen?

P.S. Let me know if you liked this post. I’m thinking about keeping it around as a regular series.
