I’m starting a new job soon. I know the first day is going to be awkward. First days always are. I can’t help but think about the “How many kropogs to cape cod?” episode. This is due only in part to the fact that I still don’t know what a kropog is. This is also due to the fact that this is the episode where Rory starts her internship at the newspaper with Logan’s dad.

I always laugh when Rory takes a picture of herself with her camera phone because I’ve done the same thing several times. First days are big deals. In college, before the camera phone, this was achieved by taking a picture of myself in the mirror. So I have about five really fantastic shots that show nothing but the flash. Anyways, I know that the first day will be bad because it’s a first day. I at least take comfort in the fact that Rory also was confused as to if she was supposed to enter a room when a door was closed in her face & she had this conversation:

I didn’t even know if I was supposed to go to lunch when everybody went to lunch, so I just stood in the break room for, like, forty-five minutes! And then I ate an Altoid.

Note to self: buy altoids. What was your worst first day at work or school?
