Ha. I didn't want to elaborate because I didn't want to start blathering. But since you asked...

I remember my first job, when I was 10 years old, for a dollar an hour, at Interstate Pancake Howse, owned by Poor Ken and Lonesome Del. If you think I'm joking, check out: <http://archive.columbiatribune.com/2008/Apr/20080427Comm005.asp> I just Googled it, and it's actually very funny and accurate. Lonesome Del also got a good deal on some bicycles, and I worked a month for free just to pay for my first bike.

The point being that I washed dishes, and pulled those plates out of the machine at about 160F (there was a thermometer in the tank) and had to move really fast and think quick because they were hot enough to be dry by the time I could stack them up for the busboys to haul them back to the kitchen. Years and thousands of miles later, I was running kitchens of my own and could grab a wet towel and pull a hot pan from the 350 oven and get it out without dropping it while steam boiled around my hand.

Then I decided that I needed to go back to school and learn about computers.

Grins,
Wal
