That is the name of a film with Michael Douglas in the role of a normal worker who, in the middle of a traffic jam, collapses himself and becomes crazy. He leaves the car in the highway and starts wandering through Los Angeles. The film itself is an incredibly real metaphore of Western society and I strongly recommend it.

On Monday I felt exactly like the main character in the film. It was simply: the day everything went wrong in my life. First, I wasted the afternoon and the evening in an useless meeting, with rude people arguing, with hidden agendas, with unskilled attendants,... It was endless and it just prepared me for what was coming next.
Then I was late as to go to a basketball match I wanted to watch, and my friends wanted to meet, just soon after I had told them Monday was going to be quite hectic. Cool, I had two options at the same time. I forgot about basketball and I went to the appointment with my friends and in the way there a car almost fell over me! It was the straw that breaks the camel's back: I started shouting at the driver!
Luckily, as I finally met my friends, everything seemed to go better and smoothly and on Tuesday I felt just as a normal day. But it is not easy to forget such a Monday...
