Standbyship

I was chatting with a friend. She had not replied to my ping's and when she finally did, she replied "been very busy with work..." (standard reply when you do not have time to chat)

I replied spontaneously, "so, work is worship and I'm standbyship?" she had a great laugh for the rest of the afternoon and said, that I coined a new word.

We give so much attention to work and forget the fundamental mantra that we work to live and not live to work...
