my break is....when?!

i got woken out of my slumber by my dad because trent called me -_- at NINE in the morning! my alarm was set for half nine, so there, i lost half hour's worth of sleep! sleep that is MUCH needed too!

we've been so under-staffed lately it's not even funny. i didnt even have my last 10 minutes break yesterday coz we didnt have enough staff watching the pools, and i didnt want to leave poolside to go on my break and leave victor watching 2 pools by himself. as if he doesnt have enough to deal with already - what with a little child almost drowning due to the lack of supervision from his mum. victor had to get the oxygen tank and etc out for that little boy, and he told the mum to send the boy to A&E because there might be water in the boy's lungs, which may or may not have effects later on, but guess what? the mum said "it's okay.." -__- hello??!! retard!

oh, trent called me to go in to work today. 12-8.30pm today, and 5-1.30pm tomorrow *dies* i forgotten that i have my early shift tomorrow and i went to choose the 12-8.30pm shift when trent called. sheeeeeshh! trent promised to buy me lunch :D whee~ LOL

i was actually quite looking forward to my break today, coz i worked from monday of last week till yesterday (sunday), so that's 6 days of work. my next break is on wednesday, so that means i would've worked for 8 days non-stop until i get a day off work -.-"

no wonder i've been having funny dreams about work these few days...

restaurant & food review: barracuda @ bucklands beach

atmosphere: the restaurant's overlooking bucklands beach, so you can expect a nice scenery while you dine. the atmosphere in the restaurant itself is really cosy, and the service from the staff is excellent! however, there is a very fluffy cat which roams around the restaurant, so if you're allergic to animal fur, do stay away from the restaurant or from the cat.

food: we ordered some starters (garlic bread and bread & dips) and they were alright. the garlic bread is pretty much mediocre while the breads & dips were quite good. the platter was quite big for the price we paid for (nz$9.50 with 4 dips selection). they had a selection of entrees on their menu - mum ordered the soup of the day (potato and sweet corn chowder) which was quite tasty, though very filling and sickening after having a tad too much of it. they didnt have many selections for the mains. my family ordered 2 sets of fish of the day, salmon steak, moroccan spiced venison, eye fillet steak and oven roasted chicken breast. the fish of the day was snapper, and it came with some mushroom risotto. the fish itself was quite tasteless, but the mushroom risotto was quite tasty. oven roasted chicken breast was horrible because the chicken was really tasteless, and the herbs that were used as the stuffing tasted really bad as well. the salmon steak was quite good and so was the eye fillet steak (highly recommended!). the moroccan spiced venison had some really strong spices in it, so if you dont like spices, this is not the dish for you. the venison wasn't tender, but rather tough.

price: the prices were pretty much standard, though for the price we paid, i'd rather go elsewhere for better and tastier food :)

overall: 2/5
