Ok, I’m probably going to get roasted for this, but I’m doing it for all of you consultants who no longer get to travel in this post-Covid world and are chasing that high…

How do I get my house to smell like the lobby of a Westin? I know they use mass-diffusers, and I know some of y’all know where to get them. How do I pull this off? Preferably for less than $50/month.

Just checked into a Westin and the front desk gave me a hell of a time because I didn’t have my business card or “corporate ID” to verify the corporate rate. I haven’t traveled with business cards in years. Firm doesn’t have an office in my city so no corp ID - and from colleagues, I know that the badge doesn’t include the firm name. Da fuq? Is this a new thing? I’m ambassador, fwiw.
