Here's a Tip
When you change jobs it is in your best interest to ask for more money if for no other reason to pay for the frustration that is involved with changing jobs: stopping direct deposit, starting direct deposit, 401k rollover, changing insurances and maybe even doctors, etc. In my case, my pay cycle has gone from every other week to once a month on the last day of the month and the last check from my former employer will not be directly deposited so I have to wait on a live check from the beautiful state of Alaska. If I was living paycheck-to-check I'd be some kind of screwed right now. My deposits have changed but all my automatic withdrawals are still the same. I know this will all work itself out but right now, it's frustrating as hell.

it's like it's a second job, isn't it? i understand your frustration, chele. great thing is, you ARE making more money! that has to take a bit of the sting out, right?
Good advice. I remember having to wait like 4 months for 5 weeks of sick leave to transfr from one gub'ment job to the next. It ain't nothing nice.
But hey, once it's done, it's done, right? And I too am glad you making more money:)
I'd probably starve in the transition.
Yes changing job is like a job in itself. But I can deal with it as long as the benefit and pay or better. But still it's a headache getting things in order.
