Ah, I see. Yeah, I had to kill Lydia because she kept attacking everyone, even me, and I couldn’t get her to stop. I got her inheritance a few days later. Oh well.

She kept getting lost on ColourR3mix and then she got killed.  I couldn't actually get her to follow me.  She kept saying it looked like I already had someone with me.  Also, she never had anything I could pickpocket so - no use to me.

Are you playing Skyrim? My housecarls have never received inheritances (that I know of).

I killed her, than a courier gave me the inheritance.  Apparently the Jarl didn't find anything suspicious about her being dead in my house with arrows in her and all her stuff stolen.

I'm sorry if you're answered this before and I didn't see it, but, like, what do you do, exactly? I know you have your MLS, yet you work in a bank. Do you gather data? Organize bank stuff?

Hey! No worries. My job sounds sort of odd at first:

I work in a special library IN a bank. It's a pretty big global bank, and our group (there's eight of us here, in this team, six MLSs) support the bankers in the deal making process. So, when our different investment teams are looking to refinance a company, or help a company acquire another company, or whatever, they need to research the players involved and the industries involved so they can help their clients make informed decisions. OUR clients are the bankers--we make sure they're equipped with the information they need to they know what their talking about.

In the end, it's a lot like academic librarianship. These bankers get assignments from their managing directors, and have to prepare for pitches and presentations. We help them get their homework done. We have access to very swanky and expensive business databases that have all sorts of information on different aspects of business and industries, from healthcare and agriculture to thermoforming and mosquito eradication (really).

I spend most of my day creating company packets, researching different industries, and doing news searches. We field reference questions mainly by email and we're super busy all day, every day. It's fast paced, and almost entirely reactive, so you never know what's coming your way.

But hey, it's librarianship!

…Ravenclaw tie?

Nope! It's actually purple and black. Sadly, I do not have a Ravenclaw tie.

You look eerily similar to how I picture Melchior from Spring Awakening.

yesssss I actually played him in a staged reading of the straight play. And I would really like to play him in the musical, considering I can actually totally sing the part (which is rare for modern musicals).
