Last Drop Tavern - eugh.

Today was a really shocking start to a long weekend for me. I'm on call, tomorrow being the last on-call day of the week. Last night I was called at around 10pm, through to 3AM - so not much sleep. Then at nine this morning I was called in, and ended up having to work until 4pm. So I didn't really have much of a weekend.

This wouldn't be so bad, it I could get my time back, but our boss ("when I did...") has recently changed the rules, so if you are on call, then any extra work is hard luck - no matter how long. Of course this does mean that any voluntary maintenance work can no longer be done if you're on-call.

Anyway, we decided to go out for a meal - I'd been stuck on the computer for what felt like a 100 hours. We went to The Last Drop Tavern, a restaurant/pub in Kalamunda - not our first choice, but everywhere else was booked out. I can honestly say I had the worst meal I've ever had. It was really attrocious. The steak was cold and about 80% fat, the chips I'd ordered came as cold potatoe salad (with an apologie saying the waitress who took the order didn't know their was no chips - despite us later seening plenty of other people with them!). But honestly I just couldn't believe the steak - it was described as 'New York style' - surely they can't eat anything like that in the US - I know they like the fat, but nearly the whole thing, and stone cold.

So I left the lot, and bought a fish to eat at home.


The Last Drop Tavern - the last place I'd want to eat again!
