Meanwhile...

When I picked Sam up at work the other day, one of Sam's supervisors came out to meet me. She was letting me know that the head of the Food Services Department had just been "let go". This was not great news. 

This now-former head of Food Services was not someone Sam interacted with on anything close to a regular basis, but she was kind - and I think she had a soft spot for Sam. Now, with her gone, who knows?

This supervisor didn't know what it all meant. Would there be changes? Possibly. Probably. It could be anywhere from no changes at all to completely subbing out food services to an independent firm. This, she said, would be up to the School Committee and whomever gets appointed to be the head of the department.

I liked the "no changes" part of the conversation. 

I haven't said anything to anybody about this (other than you) and I've decided to sit on this for a while; to hope for the best and see how this all shakes out. 

If I were a worrier, news like this would really be bothering me.
