first real day of work. people were very friendly and welcoming. we’re supposed to have 3 days of training. we worked all day with some help from our trainer and then there was a crisis on the current feature film. new scenes needed to be “laid out” and our trainer was needed in production. so we were told that we would not work the rest of the week and to come back on monday. fine with me. breaking into the work schedule slowly.
tax man............went to visit an american tax accountant who handles both US and french taxes. i had gotten various extensions so they are due oct 15. of course, this is a bit late to just be visiting the guy now, but i’ve been trying to do it myself with turbotax. turbotax is very confusing and i need help. it amazes me how difficult it is to figure out US taxes. i really believe that any high school graduate should be able to figure it out, and i don’t think our tax situation is that out of the ordinary. this year was a more difficult because of living in a foreign country. anyway, the tax guy was around 65/70 years and very slow. our conversation went at a snail’s pace with us repeating our questions and he going off on the wrong paths. it cost 250E and we didn’t get very far except to know that we didn’t want to work with him.
