Being laid off is already not a pleasure cruise but all the less so when your nine-year-old kid is pissed off at you because you are unable to buy the four-wheel drive he has already boasted about to his friends. And when your wife can`t put up with for being ALWAYS at home. Or, when you ARE NOT in, she despises you for giving a hand to a pal who holds a French Fries stand at the fair... Poor Eric! He was Oh So quiet when he was overworked as a landscape architect...!
