I grew up in a Subaru Outback! Love those cars to the core. The thing lasted us a good 20 years.

That was quick!

I was going to say you probably don't want to buy the extended warranty, but if you do you can buy it from any dealer and avoid a sizable markup. I paid less than half the price the local dealer quoted buying the Gold Plus plan from a dealer in Illinois.

Please, a post-meeting update. I'm sending you all the disembodied support I can.

It was fine. It felt very much like being interviewed by the Bobs. We'll see over the coming days and weeks how things shake loose.

I'm at a unique place in my career with this company where I am confident in my skills, my knowledge, and the value I add to the company. If he likes me - he'll keep me around. If he doesn't - whatever, I'll find another job. But that's an entirely different pubski post for another day.
