Gif Of The Week

Rebecca’s Reflections

Dear Di?ry,

Last week, it was still all go here! With our partner program refresh in full swing, I've been helping out with the point calculations and using my excel skills - something you may not know about me, I love spreadsheets! VLOOKUPs, complex formulas, conditional formatting - yes please!

As for the weekend, it was nothing short of epic! We celebrated our son’s 10th birthday at Go Ape - facing high ropes, zip lines, and a few heart-stopping moments 50ft up in the air. I loved it! I think a few adults might have been more scared than the kids! We also managed to snag tickets to be in the audience for Gladiators and watch one of the quarter finals being filmed! So if you're a fan, look out for me in the audience when next season is aired! ??

How did you spend your week?

Here’s to more adventures, both in spreadsheets and out in the wild! ?? ??

I always try my best not to, but have I missed something? If you have anything to share with the Hyv? & Magento community, please drop it in the comments ??

Have something great coming this week? Be sure to tag Hyv? when you share it!

Thank you for being here ????

- Rebecca Brocton ? , Community Manager, Hyv?
