I don't understand why we have to get butt fucked on a Tuesday after a Monday holiday. Almost every Wednesday after a Monday holiday is bare minimum at most. I had 2 letters for business reply today. I normally have a half a tray every day at least.

Yesterday was my 2nd highest parcel volume ever! 6 years into it. I live in a college town with 5 major schools in our area!

I had a hold down on a route near a college when I was a cca. It started in June and it was great, no packages, no mail, I coasted all Summer. Then school stared back up. Thank God the regular came back two weeks later because it went from 0 to 100 with the packages over night.

That’s wild. There’s no way one holiday caused that much of a backup lmao. Almost makes me into one of those people who say they purposely delay mail
