Karma Yogi & Identity Crisis

My mom tells me "Be a karmayogi", it is the highest form of yoga where an individual meets divinity through his deeds or karma. Mom, does being on a bench in a software company fall under the perview of karma, if it doesn't then there needs to be an ammendment in the divine rules and laws. Not only that spending time in the canteen, checking/sending emails,taking umpteen breaks, all these activities too must be acccounted for being a karmayogi. I was told "Love thy work" but what if I don't have any work?

At time when I look back, I feel my decision to quit from my previous job was a hasty one. Earlier people could identify me by my name (after taxing their brains), I had an honour to talk to people like CFO, Head HR, COO and many more...... Now I have landed in a sea, which is so full of people that my identity is reduced to a mere number; Employee Number 58146
