That wasn't too awkward...

Scene:

Me-lugging suitcase down hallway upon arrival to work this morning
Female forty-something coworker whose name I can't remember-walking down hallway in funny looking hat and 'funky' earings she clearly got at a sidewalk art fair on Nantucket five years ago...maybe the hat and earings came together

Me: Morning.
Coworker: Good morning. And where are we going today?
Me: Florida.
Coworker: Oh niiiice. For the holiday?
Me: Oh no, actually I'm Jewish.
Coworker: Oh really? I had no idea. I'm sorry.
Me: (nervous laugh) That's okay. You didn't know.
Coworker: (talking fast) I didn't know. I wouldn't have thought...
Me: (talking faster) It's fine, really. How would you have known?
Coworker: I just assumed. I'm sorry, there was no way to know. I mean, I didn't think.
Me: It's really okay. You didn't know.
Coworker: I should have asked before I said anything.
Me: It's fine really. How could you know if I didn't say anything?
Coworker: Right. I wouldn't. I just assumed you weren't. I mean I just thought you would be celebrating Easter. I don't know. I'm sorry.

Five minutes later in my office, coworker comes in to drop off papers.

Coworker: Sorry about before. That was horrible of me.
Me: (nervous laugh) It's fine really. I didn't mind.
Coworker: You're sure?
Me: (nod head)
Coworker: Okay, good. I just wanted to make sure.
Me: (nod head again)
