We’re thrilled to be back in Penny’s kitchen (for the last time, we promise) this time a little tipsy and loving life. Have you ever lost sleep fretting about office politics? And what even ARE office politics?! You’ll be thrilled to know that Penny thinks there could actually be a good side to the whole office gossip thing! And also...is there such things as being too pumped about a job interview?! This and much, much more. You can’t hold us down!

Show notes:

🍷 We share one of life’s greatest pleasures

🏈 Brittni is ALWAYS thinking about goals

😂 One Britt’s all-time favourite comedians

🛍 Penny needs to get off Net-A-Porter

🇫🇷 We are going to Paris!!

👽 What if your job “doesn’t exist”?

💩 You truly cannot please everyone, and nor should you try

🌵 Penny is not chilled

📗 Proclivity = tendency towards

📘 Verbose = likes to use fancy words

🔪 Urgh, office politics. Is this for real?!

↑ In Australia we say “it rots from the top”

🤓 Getting a little **too** excited about your next role

008 - Creating your own promotion and/or destiny 🔮

Sorry we're late this week peeps, it doesn't mean we don't adore you, but sometimes life gets in the way of your podcasting ambitions 😭

In this episode of Happy Hour, Penny made Brittni pasta at her apartment, but don’t worry, she’s not eating during the recording of the podcast. That would be terrible. This week we can't help but chat about the lovely, and perhaps insane, Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos fame. If you haven't watched the doco yet, then you'd better get to it!

We also try to figure out how you should go about asking for a job that doesn't yet exist, because, you know, how?!!! As well as giving tips on the question of what one does when things are getting snooze-worthy at work? Boredom is truly worse than death. But it doesn't have to be ;) This episode is all about reframing, so we hope you enjoy (and rate, and review, and subscribe)!!

Show Notes:
