Hunter, what if I don't get the job?  What if your Dad hates me and doesn't
think he can work with me?  Do you think I should meet the VP before I
spring this on my boss?  I don't want to burn bridges if I stay here.  He
has been so good to me.  It would be really uncomfortable if he knows I
tried to leave and I don't get the job.
