Ask Miss Wild

Q: Every year at our holiday party my boss gets drunk and makes a fool of himself. He hits on everything in sight and goes around spilling everyone’s business. My real problem is that we went out a few times earlier this year. It ended amicably, but I’m nervous about what will happen at the party. What should I do?
A: Go to that party with your head held high. He’s already got a reputation for being a bit much at company functions so you’ve got nothing to worry about. Anything he says or does will be taken by everyone with a grain of salt. If he puts your business out there, it’ll only reflect badly on bad.

Q: I have no idea what to buy my husband for Christmas. There’s nothing that he needs, plus we’re strapped for cash right now. Any ideas?
A: It’s all about getting creative. Start with a theme and take it from there. For example, if he loves films upgrade some of his favourite DVDs to Blu-ray or design 12 gift cards that treat him to a monthly movie night. Toss in a movie almanac as a stocking stuffer.
