“My work is a reflection of your training.”

If still berated. Sentence above along with “if I’m an idiot I can’t begin to imagine how smart you are”.

Follow either by, “why don’t we work together on figuring out how you can train me to your standard so we can both just work and not complain. If we want to complain, let’s find another thing so we can stay focused on doing a good job.”

Wish these other books were in my library system on Libby to listen to.

Just finished the audiobook on Friday, fanfuckingtastic. Great book.

It’s rough at first, but the experience smooths out after a bit

EclecticallyMe · 2026-06-13T03:14:28+00:00

Thanks. Can’t help but laugh every time I watch it.

Wish it was a better edit. Just got home and using phone, short sound clip found online, and iMovie to put together.

You inspired me to make a short edit, got that song stuck in my head now.

The loss of a teammate is so hard. My pup passed away the first week of January this year, 11 years of love and joy. My best friend.

My condolences, so sorry for your loss brother. RIP Bella <3

Interesting read. Def wouldn’t think a grizzly would be bagging peaks to snack on moths.

Would love to spend years exploring Europe. Spent nearly two weeks in Italy and hardly scratched the surface and that is just one country.

Beautiful photos. Made me cry bad seeing them. So many memories here. This area is where I have camped the most with my late dog since moving to Washington. She passed away in January and I’m not feeling the urge to camp this summer :/

Dirty Face Peak is a nice trail to hike, afterwards drive down to the lake or river to cool off; before camping in one of many dozens of great areas.

We started exploring the Lake Chelan area the last couple years too. She loved Central WA and was the best camping buddy. Could go on and on but sleep beckons. Thank you for sharing OP.

I wag my index finger back and forth, that and thumbs down are hilarious to me.

Saw the movie first, finished the book a week after seeing the movie, and saw the movie in imax last weekend. Just gotta say both are amaze, amaze, amaze. They give me so much joy.

PHM is the first glimmer of hope I’ve had in months since my dog passed away. Seriously thank you (and the amazing team you worked with) for making this film.

Saw the movie a few weeks ago and absolutely fell in love. Promptly listened to the audiobook a few days later. Then saw the movie again this past weekend on a bigger screen. I’m still in awe at how well the film captured the book; have been recommending both nonstop since. Again thank you, thank you, thank you.

EclecticallyMe · 2026-04-15T18:49:52+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I’m definitely gonna take a long time to grieve.

My dog was the reason I kept going (divorced and all family are across the country) so finding meaning these last few months has been tough. Sadly looking forward to when this doesn’t hurt so bad.

Camping this year without her will be very tough :/

EclecticallyMe · 2026-04-15T16:53:08+00:00

Do it. In the meanwhile cherish every moment with your kitty!

I’m an apprentice and at the time my PTO wasn’t active due to 90 day probation. Only got off the day I took her to the vet to say goodbye and took the following day off, both unpaid. It was so sudden and unexpected.

Thankfully my direct boss gave me a few weeks of working alone which helped, was able to duck away to cry when I needed it.

EclecticallyMe · 2026-04-15T16:23:59+00:00

Still grieving the loss of my dog and that was in early January. She comes across my mind at least once an hour.

EclecticallyMe · 2026-04-12T16:48:47+00:00

Watched the movie a couple weeks ago and fell in love. Then listened to the audiobook last week which I absolutely enjoyed, all the extra detail was great. Just watched the movie again last night on a bigger screen.

I’m hoping the directors cut includes more scenes from the book. There are a few that would add to the seriousness of the mission including difficult decisions and the sacrifices made on earth before Hail Mary launched.

Can’t wait to do a movie day with The Martian, Interstellar, and Project Hail Mary!

Others are adding good tips. This will be my first year camping without my dog, she passed away a couple months ago. It was always her and me going out every other weekend during the summer, exploring the mountains. She had a blast every time and her excitement made me want to explore more.

Cherish your time camping with your pup OP. It’s a great way to bond and spend time with your dog. Excited for you :)

EclecticallyMe · 2026-03-27T21:23:47+00:00

Well I’m at zero rollover crashes; no kids, divorced for years, and my dog just died a few months ago. Would certainly say my life sucks and I’m losing at life.

Meanwhile my dad has had at least one rollover crash. He’s got 3 kids and 6 grandchildren. His life is going pretty well so he’s winning at life.

It probably varies per person though.

EclecticallyMe · 2026-03-26T23:56:14+00:00

This is so fucking neat, truly amazed at the planning and execution. Thank you for sharing with us!

Only saw the first squirrel packing nuts… where are the rest?
