sushi dates

had a three hour dinner with my coaching manager tonight. over sashimi & sushi, we talked about our goals, what we hope to achieve and what we should focus on. it was like a gentle reminder in this off-peak lull that even when work isn't as busy and there aren't as many deadlines to meet, it's always good to have a clearly defined goal to work towards. looking at her, I couldn't help but feel renewed with a new sense of purpose about my work. Sometimes u just need a simple reminder like this to keep you going (:
