I sent a Priority Mail envelope earlier today thinking it'll get delivered no later than Monday. Guess what--Government holiday on Monday! I lose.

PSA: Don't forget that next Monday is a gov't holiday.

When I was in grade school I always had school on columbus day, and I now have to go to my classes and work on columbus day.

I can't recall ever having columbus day off.

I'm not sure if the mail gets dropped off at the office building on Saturdays, or if someone goes to pick it up on Mondays at the post office. I should've spent another $9 and sent it FedEx.

What we should do is move Columbus day to a monday in july or august.
Another summer three day weekend ftw.
