Ask Savvy: How Should I Critique My Co-Worker?
Dear Savvy,
Today, my manager called me asking me to write up a report about a fellow co-worker. I had mentioned that she was having some difficulties adjusting to the workplace, that she was rude to us, and where she was getting better but that she still often isn't on task. I told her that I would, but I just sat down to write it and have no idea what to say, how to say it, etc.

Ask Savvy: Should I Buy a New Car?
Dear Savvy,
I recently got a letter in the mail from a local car dealership requesting that I trade in my 2001 VW Passat, saying that they are getting lots of requests and stating the blue book value for my car. I wouldn't mind buying a new car, but promised myself I would drive my car until it is unrepairable or I graduate from college, whichever comes first. I still have two more years to go, but if this offer is legitimate, I don't want to let the opportunity go.

Would You Take an Affordable Clothing-Optional Vacation?
Clothing optional situations are typically limited to behind closed doors, but not if you're venturing off on a nakation. You don't have to bare it all on nakations — that's where the optional part comes into play — though you can if you want to. Besides the fact that participating nudists say that nude recreation is fun, there might be a financial benefit to taking a trip that encourages you to don your birthday suit.
Geek Tip: Get Sale Alerts for Your "Must Have" Items
Let's face it — gadget lust can get pretty expensive. Especially if you let yourself snatch up every hot and shiny new thing that comes along, adding to your already mountainous collection of electronics. Thankfully I've learned my lesson after years of spending far too much on gadgets than my girl Savvy would think is appropriate, but now I'm proud to be called a sale hound.

Not a mama yet, and can't really justify all that time you spend on lilsugar?
