I finally got a pretty good night's sleep last night and woke up about 6:30. I finished two days of ServSafe training and took a 90-question multiple choice test. Assuming I passed, I'll get a certificate in the mail in a few weeks. I learned a lot about safe food handling, enough to make me give up any thought of eating raw oysters for sure, and most other foods. A lot of it is not really relevant to the Shelter. Most of our food is prepared by volunteer groups, and we pretty much have to hope they use good hygiene, for instance, and buy ingredients that are safe. Probably I can do more to educate them. I can also work on educating the night staff, who are here when the food is served, about supervising residents putting away leftovers, etc.

Today the president of the Board is coming to meet with me. I don't know exactly what she will say, but it could be to offer me the job of Director, either permanently or temporarily. In any case, we will surely talk about what will happen in the near future. Either today or tomorrow is Alison's last day. Who will sign checks and approve payroll? Anyway, I need to get going to be on time and look profession. Also, I have to mail the newsletters today and work with the auditor. There are a bunch of interns starting as well. Hopefully, they will be helpful and not more work.
