His latest observation-well, flat out surprise, is over the H&R Block TV Adverts that are now playing in full rotation in prime-time. As someone who has only ever lived in a country where the concept of actively completing a return is reserved only for those who have the most complicated of taxes, it is blowing his mind that everyone-including the most average of households are expected to submit a paper return to the IRS. Hee..
On the flip side of the coin, I've an acquaintance who just landed in London a few days ago for an expat assignment, and I have just seen some of her first Facebook posts about her experiences. It's bringing back a flood of memories for me, and I can't help but feel a little envious of her new & exciting experience.
London-life is especially fresh on my mind as I'll be heading there in a few weeks for work-and I'm so
excited (oh, the irony...)-and also a little sad to know that my experience will be temporary (oh, the irony). I couldn't be happier in Seattle, but I have pangs for London every now and then.
I guess that is what the norm is for me now...
