Day Three Hundred and Fifty Seven: Skilled

I am mighty skilled.
But I have this really obscure skill that most people don’t have anymore. It’s called “find a phone number for a random person without using a phone book.” Mostly because phone books don’t exist anymore, which is a pain the ass when you need the number for a person who can’t be googled.


The other night I had to find my friend’s mom’s phone number to get in contact with him. Using every number I knew was even associated with him, we managed to track down his mom’s number in a matter of minutes. This skill was acquired from having a sister who ran away several times growing up.
Sometimes these small skills mean nothing, but you would be surprised at how useful they can be in the moment.

Challenge to my Readers:

Never take a skill, no matter how trivial, for granted. You never know when it will come in handy.
