Wish them Ramadan Mubarak and realize suffering is the point so they will give thanks when they breakfast. Most People who fast regularly don't blink an eye at Ramadan they have all done it so many years it's not a big blip in their eyes. Hard to understand as someone who has never fasted.

It's so heart warming to see all these posts on Ramadan. Totally agree with C1. Most of us have been doing this since we were 15-16 years old. And every year Ramadan just comes 10 days earlier than the year before. So we did have 16 hour fasts last year too.

AC1--understandable and respect what you do go through at Yom Kippur--obviously it's not a competition but rather about getting closer to God.

A few years ago, some of us joined our teammates in fasting for Ramadan for a work week. The hunger was fine. The thirst and lack of caffeine were the things that hurt me. But totally worth it to experience it along side my friends.

Haha you think Ramadan fasts are hard? I'm a Jain and my mom is currently doing a one year fast. Day A she has one meal a day and Day B she eats twice a day. And she follows a strict Jain diet.

You think they have it bad? Think about the Muslims up in northern Alaska :(

My friends in Egypt always told me they felt my Yom Kippur fast was significantly harder. At least after a couple days of the Ramadan schedule your body begins to adjust, where they have little issue afterwards. Not eating or drinking for an entire 25-26 hours is just pure agony.

MCK- the guidance for folks living too close to the poles for a reasonable fast is that they find the nearest Muslim country within their time zone and follow that day. Particularly applicable for the large Somali and Iraqi populations in Sweden.

This is why I'm glad I'm not in this field anymore. OP puts up an observation and everyone has to one up it. Fuck this

Lol it's not this field.. It's called the internet. No one talks like this in real life to your face

@d2 they do and I've gotten sick and tired of it, whether it's who had the longest hours or the hardest path here or the worst manager or alternately whose team is the most fun and loves them the most. But to be fair that's prob how you get ahead in consulting
