Ask no guarantees, ask for no security,
there never was such an animal.
And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth
which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
To hell with that,
shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.
~ Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451: A Novel

It is!
Sloth. That is a picture of one of the seven deadly sins; not taking one day off, but taking every day off.
