Rictor I agree but you also need "tide over" money. Money for gas to get back and forth to the job(s) and food to eat until the first paycheck comes in. (Money to tide you over.) Which is usually 2-3 weeks depending on how the pay period runs, what day you got hired on, and all that happy crap.
What really sucks is when they pay every two weeks and you get hired on the day that makes it so you won't get your first check for a month because accounting does everything one pay period behind.

He did say that he spent the morning filling out applications for all of the local burger places and such.
