--- Quote from: NilsO on 22 Apr 2015, 02:53 ---It is a possibility, and it would create similarities (or differences) to the Faye/Angus situation. But somehow, I do not think this will happen. Claire is too rooted in Northampton. If anything, Tai will quit or get fired, and Claire will get her job at the library.

I think today's strip might be part of a long setup for the latter half of your prediction. The former part I'm not so sure of. Jeph recycles a lot of gags ("You're pretty!" "So are you *blush*") but I'm not sure he'd recycle an entire storyline, as he'd be doing there (or by fleshing out the similarities between Tai's attitude/conduct at work and Faye's attitude/conduct at her former place of employment, especially WRT Dora's outlook on both).

Especially not in such quick succession.

Soon, at Claire's professor's office.
"So...Miss Augustus. Your performance review mentions that you're 'Super cute and have really pretty hair'."

The Smif library isn't a long-term job for Claire. If the administration lets slackers like Tai run the place, she'll not be happy there. Her best bet is to not bother with any drama with Tai; just write up a good evaluation (or have Marten do it), and get Tai to sign off. From there she needs to find a library that values her professional skills (it's a northeastern college town; there'll be other libraries, and Claire has a car).
WRT the idea that Tai has already written a real evaluation and is just pulling Claire's leg, we've never seen any indication of that level of conscientiousness or planning from Tai. I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm not sure of Marten's specific job title, but I think he's Tai's assistant and a full employee of the college rather than an intern. He's probably got a fancy job title like 'Office Administrator' or 'Head Librarian's Administrative Assistant' or something like that.
Functionally, the experience he has gained over the last year or so would likely qualify him to stay on in a purely admin role (at least officially) if Tai were to suddenly quit or be fired for dropping the ball with the interns. Officially, he'd have no 'librarian' role but, given how he inducted the three interns, I think he knows enough about that end of the operation too.

A good friend of mine is a "Library Assistant" at a state college library in Mass. Without a Master's in library science, she says that's as high as she'll ever be allowed to get, despite having worked in various libraries for 20+ years and knowing more than many of her bosses.

Me either.
