I am at work about 10 hours a day. In the winter, it is often dark when I leave home in the morning and dark when I get home at night. I share a large office with four other people. There is no privacy and little room to pray at the right time in the office. These are the options as I see them: 1. Go to a room somewhere in the workplace that is private and pray. 2. Stay where you are and take a few minutes to pray by "dua" since you cannot pray the usual way. 3. Leave work and go to a mosk or home, pray, and then return. 4. Wait until you get home and make up all the prayers you have missed at once. I would really like to hear from others on this matter. Susan Sinnott
