Problem: I disguise my temptation to burst out into full giggle mode every time I hear that question asked by an English man I ' ve met for the first time in some social setting . We could have been talking in a group for a while but on hearing my foriegn sounding first name they feel the need to ask the question : So where are you from ? Dependent on my mood I could launch into a monologue about living in South London and the advantages of being ' Sauf ' of the Thames .

What country do I reside in ?

A: I live in England .

Problem: Nanny loved Phil ... Phil lived nanny and I loved my job ... life was good . Well , about two weeks ago a girl I worked with had a baby and I was asked to work full - time while she was on maternity leave . Very quickly my 3day , 30 hour / week job turned into a 6day , 50 hour / week job . This is when things started to fall apart .

Why would working more hours cause problems in the relationship ?

A: Mistrust seeps into the relationship when she is at work all the time .

Problem: My favorite part of the Olympics so far ? Watching the men 's 100 m race . I did n't care that it was n't live ; it was great to see three athletes be so proud of their medals .

How did I feel about the race ?

A:
I enjoyed it .
