> But that part about preparing food with a limited time worries me. I like meat well done. I know about bacteria and paracites.

Oh, believe me, you microwave a piece of chicken for a minute, it's well done. It's beyond well done. No worries there.

> I also worked for tips as a bellhop in a hotel. I averaged less than 5 cents per bag, and the largest tip I ever got was $1.40. The guy was drunk. I don't suppose you ever have to deal with drunks, do you?

Heh, I wish. I actually don't have to deal with too many drunks- most of them go right to the bar. And I've been lucky enough never to have to cut someone off, and there's only been one drunken brawl in the time I've worked there. What's fun though is dealing with the kids who want to drink but don't have the right ID. They can throw fits worse than the drunks can!
