first days suck

yesterday was my first day at the new company where i have a part time gig that somewhat utilizes my international marketing guru status. i hate first days--it is always just so awkward--waiting around while the IT guy sets up your computer, meeting everyone and forgetting their names, and weighing how forward one should be with new colleagues. plus, it was a very dry day in denver yesterday, the static build up was crazy, and i shocked everyone whose hand i shook. plus, i was overdressed since this is a trendy jeans and shirt type of place, so i felt self-concious. so the first day is over, the second will be better.
