Week in the hole

When a new employee has to wait one week after they start their job to get their first paycheck.

Which means if you need gas money to go to work , you have to borrow from people. So 90% of that first paycheck goes to the people that loaned you money.

Friend : "good luck on your new job'"
You:" thanks, by the way can I borrow $120? I need gas money to go to work and I got to put a week in the hole so I won't be able to do it this week."
Friend: "sure just pay me back when you get your first check"
You: " my first check is $127..."
