monday morning grind
l'enfer du lundi matin


Explanation:
L'enfer du lundi matin OU l'enfer du lundi ... Selon mon expérience, le lundi est la pire journée de la semaine! C'est aussi le lundi qu'il y a le plus d'infarctus ... C'est plus qu'une simple corvée. Le mot anglais "grind" implique l'usure de l'organisme comme sur une meule ...
