Here are this week’s Life Pro Tips.
1. If you have the unfortunate experience of having to put a pet down, find a vet that will make a house call. Don’t let your pet’s last moments be somewhere they are afraid of.
2. Millennials, when you’re explaining how broke you are to your parents/grandparents, use an inflation calculator. Ask them what year they started working, and then tell them what you make in dollars from back then.
It will help them put your situation in perspective.
3. If someone tells you about an event in their life coming up, add it to your calendar. So you can follow up with them after no matter how big or small it is. Makes you a better friend.
4. Quickly find out whether a power outage is affecting your neighbors too by whipping out your phone and scanning for Wi-Fi networks. If there is a lot fewer networks than normal, your neighbors’ power is probably out too.
Generally, no power = no router = no Wi-Fi = no fun.
5. If you’ve made a mistake/ screwed up already, strongly fight the temptation to over-explain/ justify what happened. Own up to it, offer to make up for it, and move on.
