Jobs, or, I should really be in bed

[headfollowheart.livejournal.com]

I got to thinking about this tonight when I realized that Zoë, as a Seven, probably has a job and I didn't really have any idea what that was (it's investment and disbursement management in the Heart finance office now, with her working in the same department as an analyst as a Four through Six. FEAR FOR THE WINE BUDGET CEIRO No, of course she'd never dream of being vindictive.) Elisha is, obviously, in charge of espionage and intelligence for the Clubs. Ben is the Diamond Castle handyman, and Urania, on top of being professionally delusional, is an astronomer and cartographer.

I know for some of the Cards, it's explicitly stated: Mel is in charge of the communal stables, Itchy is the Deck doctor, but for those who aren't Face Cards or Aces, what do you see your Cards doing in the Deck? Professional badass is an acceptable answer.

Tagged plot because I have no idea, seriously.

Sophie here will be the Diamonds Librarian. I figure the castles must have extensive libraries. Someone has to keep them in order and preserve things.

Jubilee...Um, professional Mirror Holder and People Poker?

Maggie...She's semi-retired. I imagine she's sent outside a lot to do things for the Hearts. Unofficially? She's never stopped being a spook. No idea if any other Heart does that, so if they do, she does it on her own. Someone needs to look after the poor dears.

Monty...avoids work as best he can. Seriously, I see him as doing a lot of grunt work right now, which is not where he wants to be. He's approached Elisha and been approached by others to be more of a an information *cough*spy*cough* gatherer.

LIBRARIAN. That is actually my RL job, so I approve. I thought of making Zoe the same for the Hearts, but decided to go with something a little more unexpected.

I worked in Special Collections for two years while in college. Sophie is uncomfortable around people, so I wanted to give her someplace quiet and hidden away.

For seriousness? I'm going to grad school for that next year!

Really? That's awesome. The internet is full of librarians. I'm in corporate myself, which doesn't have much to do with traditional librarianship.

I've... Kinda always wondered what those librarians do. I'm still waffling on life after uni and all that.

It ends up being research, mostly, although larger corporations will have libraries, sometimes big ones. I don't, so I manage electronic resources, do a lot of secondary research for projects, and train non-librarians on how to use databases.

You actually end up doing a little of everything an entire team of uni librarians do, but on a smaller scale.

Blahblahblah. XD If you have any questions, I'm on AIM if I'm awake, so you can ask. <3
