  • Perfumes are a very common trigger for migraines for people who get them. For me it’s the number one trigger. Strong expensive perfumes are some of the worst for me.

    I have to avoid indoor crowds or eating out during times when people will be out with lots of scents on. I take drugs before a wedding etc and leave as soon as I can. The best ones are outdoors.

    In business I have bypassed interviewees who wore perfurme/cologne to the interview in favor of less qualified canditates who didn’t. I have also dropped suppliers, vendors, dealers etc… because they showed up to a business meeting wearing a cologne/perfume.

  • It depends on the country you are in.

    In the U.S. checks are still a very common way to pay bills for businesses. The reason: checks are cheaper. ACH fees are more expensive.

    In other countries the reverse is true. Checks cost money while ACH is free. So everyone does ACH and checks are almost unheard of.

    In the U.S. it’s faster and easier to reimburse myself from the my business account with a check to my personal account. Its truly ridiculous process. I print out a check from the business software and sign the check. I then remote deposit the check into my personal account (endorsing then back) with my phone. The check never leaves my desk.

    It costs me under $0.03 (cost of the check) to do it this way. ACH fees are $5/transaction for essentially the same thing.
