Being a mail man myself I know all to well how messed up it is. Your mail person probable got there late because of the holiday is one reason. What people dont realize about the mail on a holiday is this. The plant never closes. So if you have a holiday on a monday when you show up to work on tuesday you now have saturday sunday and mondays mail to deliver in one day. Now top that with the fact the most post offices are so understaffed from the stupid hiring freeze the post office had in affect for the past 3 years or so. So you now have 3 days worth of plant mail to do in one day. Day after a holiday is always a 12 hour day for me. Post office is like any other job you have people who care and people who could care less. If you want to complain ever about the post office you call and ask for the post master. If they dont answer your concerns you call your local congressman. Want to know why the PO is loosing money? Just try and guess how much overtime they are paying out on a yearly basis.
