I am Ted, an engineering technician @ NIST in Boulder, Colorado 8 hrs/day, husband and father 24/7. My spare time finds me geeked out on internet, science and technology, fixing shit around the house, doing yardwork, and if I am lucky, enjoying a microbrew of some sort.
My online presence is best summed up by the character Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything “I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.” What better place to live that dream than within the Department of Commerce huh?
Thanks for coming here to find out who I am. If you are crazy enough to want to know what makes up my simple daily life, please go to “home” up above.
Ha ha “fixing shit” LOL
Would you want to go into the Army?
Haha! My Dad wants me to, but I just can’t work for that corporation.
I love that movie, absolutely my favorite movie of all time.
You know that “Say Anything” was a movie, right?
I had the distinction of working in a Wendy’s for 6 hours, prepping chicken for crispy chicken sandwiches when I was 17 years old. 6 hours. When I went home, I wasn’t just leaving and done at Wendy’s, I was leaving the single best sample of what I knew I would never be doing in my life – ever again. I didn’t even take back the uniform which I eventually gave to goodwill.
The moral of the story?
It’s not always that great to play with breasts for 6 hours, AND – I’ll never work (and haven’t) in the fast food industry.
Now you have a real life sample to use that will get laughs and now instead of referring to a movie, you can refer to me.
A nice post and I look forward to following you and your efforts, here, “Friggin’ Guy”. Cheers!
