So yesterday was my husband and I's 7th year anniversary and didn't really get to celebrate. I wanted to make him dinner but since he had to work later, he asked to have dinner today. He's a big health freak and pasta is like a big treat for him, so that's what I made. Just thought I would share the recipe! =)

Korner Story

This is not how I wanted to start this blog...but I feel like I needed to share and let "my feelings out". 

I quit my job a couple months ago after going through PPD after having my daughter and then dealing with my mother's death some time later. I'm one of those people that puts their all in their work and never taking days of. I just needed a break and after talking to my manager we both agreed that I come back once a certain position was available and I had taken some time off. 

So here we are, 2 months later and the position is finally open and I've been in so excited to go back to work. No more PPD, I've lost all baby weight and more and I'm in the best shape physically and mentally I've ever been since forever!

 My coworkers have been messaging me, eager to find out when I would be coming back and here I am excited to get a call from my manager telling me when I could start. But...I never got that call... I logged in to Facebook and the first post I see reveals that the position was given to an ex-coworker of mine. I was shocked! I'm not saying she's not qualified but I KNOW I was a better candidate and my manager kind of PROMISED me the position...

I feel a little betrayed but life goes on. I've gotten 5 other job offers during the 2 months I was staying home. I've turned them down because I thought I already had one in line. Now that that's down the drain, it's time to find a new gig! I'm still in school full time and my GPA is still above 3.5, but I can't help but think of how "sucky" it feels. BLAHHH
