Middle of a pandemic. The world sucks. And still working 60 hour work weeks. I just want to go to bed, get some real sleep, and wake up to find this was all a bizarre nightmare.

WLB advice needed, fishes. When my kids (9 and 7) weren't at school, my job was AMAZING with letting me disappear from meetings to dispense snacks and just generally keeping a whacky schedule because I needed to take care of my kids since they were home all the time. With schools back to in person learning my job is understandably tightening up expectations again, even though we are still working from home. My kids don't understand/ like it AT ALL and when they get home from school they just want daddy and feel like I'm ignoring them. What do I do??

Salam! 2 questions below:

1) As someone trying to get fast tracked for promotion IA, should I push to get on a project during Ramadan OR spend my time on firm building in Ramadan and try to get staffed afterwards? Would prefer the second option so long as it doesn’t impact promotion.

2) if the reco is to max utilization and be staffed during Ramadan, any advice for balancing fasting + long working hours?
