How old do I look ?

Seriously, how old do I look ???
Every day (No kidding, man, every freaking day !)
I will have at least one person
approaching me, looking at me closely,
reading my name tag, smiling at me,
staring at me from the tip of my hair to the tip of my shoe

Then boldly asking me,
"How old are you ?"
or
"Aren't you too young to work here?"
or
"Is it a job or an internship ?"

Whoa... I got used to those questions for the 1st week
But I have been working for almost 2 months
and I still find people who just jumped in
and started looking at me
like I am a lost high school girl

Oh yeah, the nurses in the surgical floor
called me "high school girl"
one by one asked me, "Are you 20 ?"

The doctors ...
I cannot even go further to this
they may think I am the biggest joke
that the nutrition department ever had

Some doctors love me, of course
not in a good way, but oh well ...
Some praise me for my handwriting
I surprise they actually read my notes
Apparently, a few of them actually follow my sugestions

This 70-something doctor
may think I am like his granddaughter
He will tell me stories and play with my hair
or tap my head
"what is wrong with you, man ?"

This Persian doctor I met at the elevator
asked for my number
and without being shame asking me out as well
Jeez, don't you even realize you have a family ???

Another Persian doctor
The young, good-looking one, I mean
has suddenly become my friend
Unfortunately, Mari, my co-worker is in love with him
So I'd better not come close

So yeah ... anyway,
How old do you think I am ???
