مثل الاربعة بنص الجمعة Like Wednesday in the middle of the week.

A Syrian proverb from Arabic Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases: 


مثل الاربعة بنص الجمعة  
(mitl arba'a binuS eljama'a)
Literal meaning: Like Wednesday in the middle of the week.
Meaning: refers to someone who sits around when there is work to be done . I think it's similar to the English idiom "like a bump on a log".
