So I’ve made a decision not to be, out of respect for our departed former president.

Mail service suspended Tuesday to honor President Ford

which, by itself is fine. But let me remind you of the thing which no mail carrier needs to be reminded of. Tuesday is the day after a Monday Holiday, the first one since Memorial Day ‘06 which I was not scheduled to work. That means Wednesday will be the day after the day after a Monday Holiday, and there will be 4 days of mail to deliver instead of the usual, horrible, three.

Guess who was already scheduled to work route 5 on Wednesday?
