What else? I don't get why every restaurant in Darwin feels they need to offer the exact same fucking menu. I don't even have to go in the place and I can tell what they will serve. Sure there are the few rare exceptions -- specialty places like Greek, Italian, Indian etc but if you just roll into a normal Aussie restaurant, you're gonna get the same shit...everywhere. On the road trip, I found this to be true in other parts of Aus as well. In fact, in wine country, I had a major breakdown because I couldn't take it anymore -- lol, sad but that is a true story. I refused to eat and instead had 3 glasses of wine :-P
Anyway, no matter where you go, here's what you will likely be offered:
Appetizers (called entrees here) :
garlic bread
trio of dips (seriously, everywhere has this and it sucks. it's 3 dips, whatever they have hanging around with some stale pita...ew)
bowl of chips (aka fries)
bowl of wedges (aka steak fries)
that's it -- those are all the choices and they all blow -- hard! Sometimes we will go for a happy hour and want a snack. "oh idk -- it's just so hard to choose between chips or wedges...I just dont know if I feel like a thicker fry today" FML
Salads:
Caesar salad with or without chicken
thai beef salad -- which, if you have ever had that, know it's not really a salad. it's noodles with beef and some greens, but mostly noodle
Entrees (called mains) :
fish and chips
chicken schnitzel with gravy or parm
lamb chop
"steak burger" aka steak sandwich
"burger" regular hamburger, often topped with pineapple and beetroot - they love the fucking beetroot here
"chicken burger"aka fried chicken sandwich -- which 1st time ordering I thought I was getting something like a turkey burger
steak
another kind of steak
strange pizzas with toppings like bbq sauce
random asian foods like laksa and pho
Ahhhh! I can't take it anymore! I am so sick of those foods, therefore I never eat out. Not to mention basically nothing is on lil chunkaaa's diet! I can't be mowing down on schnitzels and fish and chips!
In job news, shit is going down at cappuccino typing gig. I am basically the only one who works there now, as my only co-worker has quit. Needless to say, that didn't go over well. Owning your own small business really sucks. When you only have a few employees, losing one is like losing a whole department. They asked me today what my intentions are if I dont get gov gig. I said idk, still looking etc. Truth is they are very nice people (it's a family, but they all work in an office down south) but I don't really want to work in a small start up company. I just want a stable job.
Speaking of gov job, I received this message from them today:

Just to keep you up to date with proceedings – the recruitment file has gone up for approval by our placement committee, so I hope to have an answer for you in the next couple of days.
wtffff???? Is it MY recruitment file? Someone else's? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???? I am starting to lose interest, lol. But really, it is kinda making me have some doubts... mainly how difficult is it going to be to get things done in this office? I remember they asked some question at the interview like, what do you do when youre faced with a challenging situation that is beyond your control... or something. I think I am already understanding that.
