10 Unanswered Questions About The Office (US)

2. Who Started Working At The Office First, JimOor Pam?

This is the chicken and egg dilemma that has yet to be resolved, hanging over Scranton, Pennsylvania like a massive, unsolved Rubik's Cube. In Season 4's Launch Party, Jim and Pam continue their hot streak of adorableness by recalling the exact moments they knew they loved each other. For Jim, it was his very first day at Dunder Mifflin, when the cute receptionist said to him, just before walking him over to his desk, "Enjoy this moment, because you're never going to go back to this time before you met your desk mate, Dwight." But hold on, because a couple of seasons earlier in The Secret, Jim confides in Michael that he had a crush on Pam when she first started. This means Jim had already been working there. So which is it, then? Who actually started first? Who is the egg??
