Lazy person with a proven work ethic. Sounds paradoxical but you don't want a lazy bum who won't get moving when things really count.

The ideal person is one who is capable and hard working when it counts but chooses not to be that way when it's unnecessary.

How about this - a lazy person with empathy, who is viscerally aware that everybody else is lazy too, and enjoys eliminating work for any and everybody.
