Simple Excuses to Feel Great

Every now and then, I think we should give ourselves some excuses to feel great, even for some tedious little things…I just found an excuse to be proud of myself…I finished my tax return by myself, and within 2 hours! Of course, I used the help from TurboTax, but still, starting from scratch, till everything was e-filed, it took me less than 2 hours!

By the way, my tax return was not one of those 1040EZ either…

Just wondering, what most foreigners do in China to file tax returns?( ^_^ )?

As for taxes, I think alot of "laowai" don't actually fill out tax forms for their home country if they are living, working, and getting paid abroad.

Comment by Mint Hill on February 16, 2012 at 11:38am: @John: I don't like my alarm clock, but I cannot live without it...and yes, I do think an extra 30-minute of Non-REM sleep will actually do me good, at least psychologically makes me feel happy, since I can lay in bed for another 30 minutes...

Comment by Mint Hill on February 16, 2012 at 11:32am: @doug: I'm finally reaching my happy part of the day now... getting back from work... and also, eating lunch is another daily happy moment for me, just another excuse to get away from work... :)

Comment by Mint Hill on February 16, 2012 at 11:29am: @CD: I wish I could be like a machine in the morning as well, just get up and turn on the engine for the day... but unfortunately I'm very human, and, a very lazy human... :(

Comment by Mr. X on February 16, 2012 at 9:49am: Just like you, I love hitting snooze thinking that an extra 30 min of non-REM sleep will do me any good :P haha, but I still enjoy an awesome breakfast every morning :D

Comment by TUTU on February 16, 2012 at 9:06am: rolled out ! :) & awesome breakfast, sun shining, yea

Comment by Mint Hill on February 16, 2012 at 1:11am: @george: thank you :)

Comment by Mint Hill on February 16, 2012 at 1:10am: @John: I still haven't found a good enough excuse to roll out of bed in the morning...every weekday morning, my alarm clock would keep snoozing for at least 30 minutes, till I finally drag myself out of bed...I hate to be forced to do things, but my alarm clock keeps reminding me who has the more superior power in our relationship, and enjoys exercising its power on a daily basis... :(
