the usual, life

So it turns out that pretty much everyone at the hospital (on the floor where I usually work) thought I was 18. I got to hear multiple gasps of shock when I told them I was 27 today. And yesterday, another patient monitor I've been chatting with for months had thought I was 18 or 19, definitely younger than her, rather than a few years older. I told her that usually the two masters degrees clues people in (which is generally when they ask me my age), but she just figured I was smart *L*

Doing internship applications atm, so I've been glad to have some of the easier tasks at the hospital these past two days. Am not holding my breath for the weekend though. Also, feeling like I have no chance of getting these internships either *sigh* And if I do get an internship, there's a whole host of problems related to one or both of my jobs *double sigh*

Although it's been cutting into other things I should really be working on, I've really enjoyed playing Civ. 4 with my brother these past few weeks. We started a new game with a more interesting map and have been wreaking unholy havoc on our neighbouring civilizations. I know it's a horribly distracting time sink, but I'm still disappointed that we probably won't be able to play again until Christmas break (we could play over the internet of course, but both of us think it's probably a better idea to focus on our work since he's full time in college and I'm part time and working two jobs).

Just to give you a glimpse of your future as a young-looking person, I'll be 39 in November, and TC and I often get mistaken for a pair of teenagers. When I explain that I'm her mom, people look at me as if I must have had her when I was in junior high. (I was 27.) My own mother just turned 60 and still looks much younger than her age, so at least I've got that on my side.

I think I'd be happy if I didn't get hit on by creepy middle aged men who want some underage totty. That, and it makes me feel like a cradle robber when high school boys hit on me.

Me too about my mom. She's in her sixties but looks like she's in her late forties. She's dating a guy her age and he looks like he's scoring a much younger woman. She was carded up until she was 40 for drinking. Now she's carded to get her senior discounts...

*L* I was surprised by just how many people I shocked this time. I figured surely some of them had figured out I didn't act like I was just out of high school *shakes head*

Thank you:D
