the corner office

Today (well, the 9th) is tax return deadline day in South Africa. For the first time in years, my return is ready to go in on time (well, 1 day late, but we've been given until tomorrow to hand 'em in, so it's still "on time"). Is it just me, or has there been a much more concerted PR campaign encouraging people to get their returns done this year? Billboards, updated websites, roadshows, the whole shebang. I'm sure in the past, the tax return deadline just slipped by with most people not really noticing. Perhaps I just wasn't noticing.

The accountant in me gets a bit of a kick out of filling out the forms and drawing up schedules and cross-referencing everything. Don't tell anyone.
