Be direct today and say what you want and need, others are not going to know if you do not.
You are going to need to be very direct today, subtlety is not going to work, so say it how it is. If you want something or you need help with something, ask for it and you will get it, but do not expect others to just know, they are not mind readers. Hints are not going to get you where you need to be right now, so do not bet around the bush, be upfront and straight forward.
