March 31, 2003-8:39 p.m. Today we present�Sa�s Embarrassing Work Anecdote! *applause* This morning on my first day back from vacation, I was walking back to my desk when a man I know passed me and held his hand up like he was Tonto or something and said, �How.� I whirled around and said in my goofiest accusatory voice, �Are you an Indian?!?� It was then that my eyes fell upon a woman sitting at her desk in front and slightly to the left of me. She had a shocked and somewhat perplexed look on her face. Suddenly it hit me! *slaps doltish self in forehead* This woman is obviously from the portion of Asia which houses India and Pakistan. Oh, dear God. She thinks I�m talking to her. Shamed down to my PC toes, I feebly tried to explain what had transpired along with weak pantomime of the accompanying hand gesture, to little or no effect. I ended up just blurting out an apology and shuffling back to my desk as fast as I could. *holds shaking head in hands at the thought of it*
