Post Office holidays

Ever notice how there seems to be so many holidays that exist just so your mail won't be delivered? It's like, Yesterday I checked the mail every hour on the hour. By 6 pm, nothing had arrived. Then someone tells me "Today is Columbus Day, ya know. Mail doesn't run today." WHAT THE FUCK IS COLUMBUS DAY?! Is that even a real Holiday? Since I online order a lot, I'm always dealing with these holidays I never heard of that seem to exist just so that Ogre Battle game I ordered will come later instead of now. Fucking fake holidays.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Seriously?  You didn't school off on Columbus Day when you were a kid?

    How did you just find out about this?

    MoeDantes,

    From what I hear, this problem is only going to get worse from now on given postal service budget constraints. I am hoping that Saturday mail service does not end because of how important the mail can be, especially for people who live in rural areas. Plus, I feel like postal workers deserve a lot of respect given how important their job is to keeping everything moving properly.

    I suppose a lot of stuff has moved to private carriers, but I think that can actually be kind of inconvenient, especially when you have to be somewhere at a specific time to sign for packages. I am not sure if the USPS does that or not, but at the very least I think post offices tend to be closer than UPS or FedEx ones.

    As for being told that there is no mail because of a holiday, I have been there and I agree that it can be pretty awkward, particularly when it happens on a Sunday.

    Did you somehow miss the "Then someone tells me Today is Columbus Day" part of my story?

    The key word there was "just."
