Dinner with the boss lady

My boss from my last job was in town for a conference, so we met up for dinner last night. We headed to a nice French bistro, we got some wine and she took my recommendation to order the delish mussels.

Even though she's only a few years older than me, working together created a hierarchical dynamic that defined how we interacted. But now that I no longer report to her, it was more like dinner with a peer where we were catching up.

But when she asked me about my new job, I didn't want to come across as too happy in my new position even though I'm much happier in my current job. In any case, it was nice having my old company pay for my meal!
