to enforce upon yourself due to practical constraints or considerations?
Example -- you believe Saturday is the Sabbath and you should not work, but your workplace is open and you are expected to be there.

No ma'am. To me that kind of dogma is illogical.

No.
No deity asks the impossible of its followers. And, life is not intended to be difficult anyway. All of these people who go on and on about the joys of sacrifice and hard work are full of it. I'm not being sarcastic - I'm serious.
Life is meant to be lived in joy and pleasure. We can't always avoid difficulties, but most problems are self-created. In reality, there are no limitations other than those you place on yourself.

No, I am Roman Catholic, and I have not yet had any difficulty between my faith and the demands of the world.
Last year I ate meat during Lent - but went to confession and was forgiven, so I forgot about it till just now answering this question.

Yes, and all I can do is hold the faith, understand that God loves me and knew way before who I would be and what I would do.
Important thing is to talk to him and thank him. That way he knows you remember him, no matter what rules or laws you might think you are to observe.
Man is often wrong in the spiritual rules they establish for all of us to follow.
Love God and follow your heart and don't beat yourself up for not being perfect. God understands. After all he created you.

I wouldn't work where my sabbath is not respected.
You have the same choice. It's called free will.
P.S. I'm not religious, but you are. Stand by what you believe.

Yes.
I'm supposed to answer any question I'm asked as long as it doesn't harm another or myself to do so, and I'm not supposed to lie. Ever.
"Does this make me look fat?"
"Are you okay?"
"What's up?"
"You look hungover, were you out partying last night?"
All these and a thousand more questions people tell little white lies in answer to everyday, are a royal pain in my spiritual neck.
