Listen "Racking Up Experience"
Episode Synopsis
Rachael and Eunice have had some pretty crazy adventures as they figured out their right job fit. In a previous episode, they started to share some of those stories, but decided it was time to dive back in. Listen as they share their favorite jobs, most exciting jobs, and some crazy situations you’d never think were real life. Wondering what Eunice would think of as the best job? How about the person at the bank who rectifies the money? She got to learn all about how the bank deals with fraud AND got down and dirty with the entire check processing system. (Creative accounting in the 90s required a checkbook!)It wasn’t all fun and games though. Rachael has worked in a very wide variety of jobs, to include the mental health population of a correctional facility. To say that that job caused her anxiety would be an understatement. Listen in to hear all about that harrowing experience. Both ladies have been let go from positions, but as usual, Rachael’s termination was way more dramatic. She takes the cake on the craziest stories. For this episode she shared all about her time as a track and field referee during the junior Olympics. Let’s just say that of the two of them, you’d better watch your back around Rachael. (Hint: She’s 100% that snitch!)In all seriousness, we had a blast recounting some of our crazy stories. So much so that we’re planning on doing more of these episodes in upcoming seasons. Stay tuned!In this episode:[00:01] Welcome back to season 4![01:46] We share which jobs we thought were our best jobs. For Eunice it was working in a bank.

[32:53] As usual, Rachael has some crazy moments that you wouldn’t believe happened in real life. [42:11] And now you know, Rachael would definitely be the snitch in this relationship.
