Good to be back

(Last week on Stuff's first day back to work)

Nurse
"Hey"
Stuff
"Hey"
Nurse
"So what the?"
Stuff
"Whaddya mean?
Nurse
"I mean you disappear for a year and now you're back all of sudden?"
Stuff
"Uh, yeah I just finished school"
Nurse
"Oh, so you graduated?"
Stuff
"Uh no. I'm just done first year"
Nurse (looking confused - I don't look that old do I?)
Stuff
"Uh...I'm in med school."
Nurse
"Oh okay, that's okay then."
Stuff (jokingly)
"That's okay? Is it a legitimate enough reason?"
Nurse (thinks for a moment, clearly toying with me now)
"Yeah, yes that's okay."
Stuff
"Does it meet your approval?"
Nurse
"Yes it does. You can come back."
(pats Stuff on back)
Stuff
"It's good to be back"
