Spend your time to be more efficient with your boss' time. For
every decision you need them for, provide the following: - short
list of facts (be complete, but condense) - options to move forward
- deadline to make decision (if any - don't make it up) - your
recommendation. - why you made that recommendation email it to them
or hand it to them, so they can do it on their schedule.

As hard as it sounds, accept a pay cut. A pay cut will still get
you a check at the end of the week. The employer will remember
those who accepted the pay cut with a smile and those who whined
and bitched. Keep a smile on your face, accept it, and you'll be
the first promoted when things turn around! E.M.

best way is to pray to your Boss/???. take care IFU
