15. I was laid off last year, and was out of work for months.
I do have a wife and kids and a house etc, and I was very worried, but you know what? I got another job, and though I make less money, I'm infinitely happier. The best part was avoiding the endless travel and getting to know my kids, especially the little guy, who I hardly knew before then.

My old boss was a big drinker (and expected me to drink with him all fucking night) and, except for his skills as a politician and ass-kisser, pretty much incompetant. I was able to get a new job much easier than I would have been able to get a new liver.

Enjoy yourself.
