In real life I ....

[Alron]

I was just lurking around your forum and wanted to post a little bit here

I work in administration in a company called Achilles Systems. It's an IT-business.

Besides that I am a father for a boy at age 4 months, and a step-dad for a 2 year old boy (practiclly father to him as well).
I spend most of my free time hanging around with my kids and playing WoW when they're sleeping or doing some renovating in our house. My fiancèe also plays WoW

I'm a student of Business Communication, currently in what should be my last weeks if all goes well. I plan to have a little break once I'm finished, then either get a job or continue studying.

I'm also a babysitter (I think its guest parent officially lol ), usually two days a week for a 1 and 3 year old, sometimes for a 4 and 5 year old as well. In my spare time of which I usually have loads I am a complete football nut, watching almost everything I can and playing a lot of football games.

 

[Gink]

Ask Plog, apparently I build boats ><

something to do with a rig? let me guess, I have totally misunderstood too

So many fancy titles ><
Im just a blue collar scaffolder, working in the onshore oil&gas industry, probably going offshore come spring.

 

[Ribena]

I am a student, a baker and a musician! I'm studying BSc Audio Music Technology . =]

Can you make me some cool effect pedals for my guitar?

With a bit of time and effort, we actually have a couple of modules on stuff like that this semester. Recording/ production is more my thing though, so I am more accustomed to using the effects.

 

[Ursanis]

Almost done with my master in system administration atm....

I'm a Mathematician, finishing my master course atm on Statistics, Decision Making and Operational Research (is that the right term in English, i wonder.... )
Part time working as a maths tutor for high school-uni students.

Can you do this one then? ;P

Say we have a bowl of N marbles, each of them unique. We draw M marbles and put them back. L of the marbles we get are ones we had drawn before. Or something like that.
Express N in terms of M and L

I was thinking something like N=1/sqrt(L/M), but that seems to lack a lot of !s and nCr/nPr's from what I rememeber of statistics so it's gotta be wrong

 

[Kirki]

Doesn't sound like a well-defined problem, since you've only drawn once and then you compare 2 sets of drawn marbles, isn't that so?

 

[Anshrr]

Sounds to me like you didn't put all of the marbles back, and maybe lost them?

 

[Ursanis]

Doesn't sound like a well-defined problem, since you've only drawn once and then you compare 2 sets of drawn marbles, isn't that so?

I'm just not expressing it very well, what I meant was that we draw M times, 1 marble each time, put it back and then draw 1 again. So that on M'th draw we know the result of draw nr. M-1 and all the previous draws , on (M-1)'th draw we know the result of (M-2)'th and so on.

Imagine our crazy guild-chat at times.... :8

 

[Neema]

Currently I run my own company, which is developing a software for construction project management - whilst I do IT-support for a company on the side to make a decent monthly pay. (Cause the primary activity does not give any income.... yet....)

 

[Stuvvie]

Lurking around just like Alron, fun topic so I'll add my share

I am being trained to be a machine mechanic 32 hours a week, wanting to step over into industrial design or something. Work on weekdays and saturdays in a supermarket sorta playing supervisor for 12 hours minimal and in my free time I work out alot and do some maintainance on 3 sailing yachts and a motoryacht for a german dude (got all the keys, free to use as I like ). On days off I watch the kids on my old lower school during lunchtime and sometimes help out in classes (not too often). How I have time to play wow is a mystery but it's possible!

 

[Raz]

Elementary school teacher :shy:

 

[flores]

I am a Social Worker working with offenders by writing reports for Courts and supervising them on Court and post prison sentence orders.

 

[Elanos]

I'm still just a student being 18 years old and all.
Biotechnoligy is what I study, quite interesting so far.
Also going to do a master in it afterwards.

 

[Ozzimandius]

I'm a student of Psychology currently studying at the Open university of Heerlen in the Netherlands. Open university means all my studying is done at home from books that get sent to me, no lessons, no tutors and every three weeks i do an exam. My bachelors in Psychology has 42 modules that I have to complete to get the degree and I want to be done in three years. So 14 modules a year is my target. Currently busy for just about 7 months now. Eventually I think i'll try and get a masters in Clinical or experimental social psychology and either setup a private praktice or do research.
In my free time I work (how witty) in a Hotel on the coast of belgium cleaning swimming pools and rooms there. On my contract my official occupation is 'cleaning lady'. Oo
Besides that I play wow, occasionaly pluck my harp and write stuff down, mostly fantasy. I also play squash regularly ( wiped the floor with Raynak :mrgreen: ) and love playing board games as well.

so there's a course in *Psychology* that allows you to never talk to a single other human being in it's entire course?

as for degree's go, ofc!! Open University is an old idea.

As for being a practising clinical psychologist, one would suppose (hope) that if you see "patients" then you need a medical school attendance.

 

[Anshrr]

Afaik psychologists don't need any medical school degree, that's psychiatrists. Tho I don't know what a clinical does, opposed to a..regular? one

Clinical psychology can be confused with psychiatry, which generally has similar goals (e.g. the alleviation of mental distress), but is unique in that psychiatrists are medical practitioners licensed to prescribe medication as the primary treatment modality.
