Some opinions on jobs and such.
Alright, here is the deal.
I am moving on the 26th of this month. It was a spurr of the moment thing, which I know it's the wisest thing becuase you should have time to save up and plan. But this is just how things have to be.
I have informed my current employer that I will be moving. I haven't given him a date becuase I'm not sure when exactly I want to quit. The 19th marks the end of the new pay period. I'm scheduled to work three days after that, I'm not sure if it's worth it to work and go through the hassle of trying to get my check that will only be a little over 100.00. Opinions?
I also just got a job with blockbuster too, I haven't started yet - I got the job before I knew I was even moving. I know it's only worth it to get a second job if I'm really hard up for cash, which I'm not but extra pocket money would be nice. Should I take the second job?

It depends on where you're moving to.
Are you going to be close enough to take the job?
If so why quit the first?
If you are heading out of town, then you should call Blockbuster and decline the job. Just tell them you have to move and won't be able to start work like you planned. :)

That's pretty much a question for you. It depends on your situation and whether or not you need the extra $100. If it was me, I would probably do it. All you really need to do is have your employer send you the check to your new address and three extra days of work won't be that hard.
About the blockbuster job, are you asking if you should take the job and then move a couple weeks and quit. Is blockbuster hiring you knowing that your moving on the 26th? It doesn't seem like they would hire you for only a few weeks.
If you want the money, and need the money, then take it, but I would tell them that your going to be moving... I guess it's the nice thing to do.
It's all about what's more important to you. The money or the extra free time and lack of hassle of getting your checks.

I think for now it might be best to speak to both of your employers about taking a temporary break.
If there is something up in your life that demands you move out so quickly, and you were only working part time or less anyways, they would probably be open to discussing a temporary leave rather then you actually quitting.
If you must quit you current job because of the move please remember that it is polite to give two weeks notice when leaving a job. A simple note saying your last day of work will be the 25th or whatever you choose is fine.
If you are only planning on working the blockbuster job until you move, you should probably just quit. It costs them a lot of money to train you and begin to employ you, and that is a bit of a waste if you are going to leave in just a week.
