Phrasal Verbs
-We have to be patient to "put up" with annoying situations ( or "handle" instead?) The meaning is a little different but very similar. "Put up with" is like "tolerate" but implies that you don't "handle" or "fix" whatever is bothering you.
- It's "ahead of" my expectations for this year.
- This work "is ahead of" my pleasures. I'm not sure what you mean with "ahead of my pleasures".
- I cut my hair last month and I didn't like it., iIt "turned out" shorter than I wanted.

This work "is ahead of" my pleasures. Do you mean "Work before play!" (This is an (American) expression meaning that you have to do your work before you can go do something for fun, for pleasure.)

You can use "handle" but the meaning will not be the same. Handle: Lidar com e to put up: aturar com
Ahead of: in front of, awaiting, earlier than expected. Examples: He walked ahead of her along the sidewalk. We have a lot of work do to ahead of us. We finished it ahead of schedule. As you can see "ahead of" can be replaced with "in front of" and "earlier than" and the meaning of the sentence will be kept. "It is earlier than my expectations for the year" or "This work is in front of my pleasures" are sentences that will be hard for English only speakers to understand. I probably will say something like: "I wasn't expecting it so earlier in the year", and "this is all work and no play." Last sentence is fine.
