Ramadan, a month that I hate, a month that to me means nothing but a load of pending paper work, unanswered emails, abandoned desks, and a total lack of professionalism by many, all of which have the same boring excuse, I’m fasting!!!
When we were in school they used to teach us that Ramadan is about patience, good will, and remembering what god blessed us with everything we have and how hard we have to work for it, but in reality that is only practiced rarely, and even though some try to achieve that, the carelessness of others makes it close to impossible.
We live in a time where doing things quickly is of the essence and if we fail to accomplish our jobs in time, somebody else is going to rip it apart from us and keep it to him self, the amount of wasted business hours in Ramadan is big as it is, especially that we lose 2 hours or more of every working day and the plus Friday we don’t deal with the west, and right after that we have the Eid holiday for 3 days or more if it falls in a weekend.
Some day we will be healed I hope, and our people start to see things for them self, and enjoy the bless our religion is giving to them, and start appreciating it by using it as god wished we have.
I wish you all a happy month, and as we say, Min 3wadah inshallah

everyone gets overly lazy, and use the fasting excuse to counteract any postive output. ridiculous.
embarak 3laaikum el shahar all.
The best way to enjoy a stress-free Ramadan is by taking it as a vacation.
Since you already know that it won't be a constructive period of time you might as well go with the flow and take a break and rest a wee bit :P
I ditto Yacoub up there; go with the flow, take it easy and enjoy the hazy feeling while it lasts. :P
It is sad though, that most people seem to have forgotten the real purpose of fasting. Complaining and using fasting as an excuse to rest their already lazy bums won't get people anywhere. When will they understand?
On a lighter note, Ramadan Kareem.
