  I filed my U.S. taxes two weeks ago. It’s not my favorite thing to do.

    Hey Tim,
    
    I also have to file my income tax. Do you recommend a website or app that allows me to do it for free?
    
    I definitely have my work cut out for me.

“Work cut out”. Pode ser traduzido como “trabalho dificultado”.

Grato Tim…

Unfortunately, I was fired, but, I have my work cut out to find another job. It’s tough not to have employment in these hard times, but, I never say uncle for the “life obstacles”!

OBS: This sentence is very weird, but, I hope that is correct. Tim, please, correct me if the phrase is incorrect! Thanks a lot and God bless you!

Hello Tim,
Indeed I´m late with my tasks because there was a change of the schedule, then I have my work cut out for me.

Have a nice day!

  Traveling always gets me behind in my work, too.

Hi Tim,

I have my work cut out for me but during the next week I’ll be back. (Last year I studied English for 12 months, and thank you for your willingness to publish these podcasts).

Hi Tim. Thank you for the podcast. I have two doubts:

1) How can I make questions with this expression?
2) Is there any difference if I use “I´ve got my work…” instead? One of them is more conversational?

Thanks
