I dunno. I wouln't have to go into payroll and have them glare at me for having to take two minutes out of their day to get out the checkbook and write my check and get the speech once again about how much better it is. You'd think that, since their job is paying people, that this would be something that they wouldn't mind doing.

I only went to direct because of the homeland rules. Before, I always took my check to the bank myself. I really liked the idea of physically laying hands on my check, and also seeing what CD rates were and other investment opportunities at the bank.
The new homeland rules really screw up that whole old fashioned nicety. There is no way around it unless the account you pay your bills with has double the amount you pay in monthly bills in it.
In fact, you should really watch your account because I would bet your check has a hold on it, even though they say it's been deposited.
