ReindeerFlotilla:
Grabby was eaten by a brontosaur.

The allosaur was busy.

(Yes, I am aware that brontosaurus was never a real living thing.)

There are a lot of nice theories about the Brontosaurus. Just ask Anne Elk (Miss).


Anyway, back on-topic: The summer must surely be over soon, right? According to the other thread we're now far into August, which means that it can't be that many weeks left on the summer internship. At which point the work relation between Marten and Claire ends and they're free to do whatever they want without any complications from work. Though I could see the trustee all of a sudden coming and saying that Tai is leaving (because she's graduated) and Claire will take over her position, as she's the only one qualified to take over that position.

That's not how the hiring process typically goes at a college or university, though. Even for lower-level management positions, it's a long, drawn-out process. Claire would have to apply alongside several other applicants, go through a couple of rounds of interviews, et cetera (which sounds suspiciously like Angus's storyline, come to think of it), and that's not to mention several layers of bureaucracy and office politics. It's likely she's well qualified (probably more so than Tai), but that doesn't necessarily mean she'd be a shoo-in for the job.

bhtooefr:
The other thing is, they're stressing the whole "employees" thing.

Did Claire possibly get hired as a regular employee?

BenRG:
This is the guess on my part but, because Claire is an MLS student, she may continue to work at the Library (although on a far more part-time basis, maybe 2-3 days per week) as part of her course. However, Emily and Gabby's internships may end and what happens after that depends strongly on what they're doing.

Emily is evidently studying to be an IT/AI engineer (shockingly enough), so she may still be in college because she's studying for a MEng. It might be interesting if she does work experience at the AI shop, leading to more contact with May, Momo, Pintsize and Winslow.
