Shoutout To Recognize Miss Echo

[BassTrackerBoats]

@Echo was hired like 3 or 4 months after @Diamond Damien made the mistake of hiring me.

I don't remember the time frame, but I do remember the event.

She has taken the Marketplace from a Google spreadsheet, or maybe it was an internal document, I'm not sure which, it might have even been an Excel spreadsheet to a level of professionalism that is unmatched. The BST approval process is not something you could buy at Dollar General. It's a Fortune 500 process. She allows me to be involved as a backup as she is generous.

If you had had the opportunity to see the transition, you would be spellbound by it. Details, I kid you not, she is fastidious to a fault.

The work involved is beyond what most could have done. The process was gargantuan, as we had a process that was approved by cavemen before she took it over.

She once shared her CV with me, and it's big time. I mean, really big time.

In addition to all that, she is a wonderful lady, has a heart of gold, gives on a personal level and has a wonderful personality.

I'm honored to have her in my life, and you should be honored to know her on any level, as well to be glad that the Marketplace is managed by the best.

She doesn't post a whole lot on the forum, but if you see her posting, pay attention, as she has wisdom well beyond her age (ladies don't like to share their age, so I won't share hers).

Realize and recognize that @Echo is not just an asset to the community, which she certainly is, but also someone you would want to know,

after @Diamond Damien made the mistake of hiring me.

It was the best mistake he ever made.

Keep up the stellar work here @Echo!

Don't be modest. Anyone who's been a part of the forum for at least a couple of years would know you're an irreplaceable member of staff.
DD almost always gets the hiring right. Echo is no exception. I've said this before, BHW's success can directly be attributed to the staff here.

Thank you for your service @Echo and for keeping the MP clear : )

The few times I’ve interacted with you regarding the Marketplace, it’s always been positive.

Thank you, Mr @BassTrackerBoats

I'm moved by the kind words on a Monday morning! The Marketplace is what it is today because of all the people who worked on it before I joined and after that. Everybody contributed many ideas and improvements. These days @Heiko and @sageshark do a lot of the heavy lifting around the Marketplace, doing an excellent job while also allowing me to have time to focus on other bits and pieces behind the scenes.

But after years of working with BTB, I'm proud that I low-key tricked him into saying "please" more often than he wishes to admit It's a CV worthy achievement !!!

PS: That's an unquantifiable claim!

a level of professionalism that is unmatched.

Fun fact - the reason the cat in @Echo's avatar is wearing sunglasses is because she's a light theme user, so be wary of her.

Thank you, Mr @BassTrackerBoats

You own that trademark and I'm glad you do. You manage it like a Queen, and every time you say it in the different variants, I laugh.

I'll probably sue you one day for teaching me manners,

How someone can get to this level? Always had troubles with those damn columns and rows and filtering and all those buttons I can never figure what they do.


You're doing great job @Echo, congrats on your professionalism!
