Poll question: So is laziness a sin, a character defect, or just a bad habit?

8. My therapist used to say
...there's a reason for laziness.

12. Life. It makes me nervous.
Basically, what I think of as my job is writing humor, and with Little Georgie and the Armageddonites in the saddle I haven't felt too humorous in a long time.
