US Post Office wants 5-day delivery

[Sundae]

I am having some sneaky schadenfreude at the fact your postal service is in trouble too.
I've always been deeply distressed that in our nationalist and socialised country we are fighting a losing battle to keep the Royal Mail and yet you guys with your private industries and capitalisation seem to have no worries with your mail.

Now I know you do.
Nah, it doesn't make it better.
It makes me realise things will get worse here too.

I love the post.
Only today I was up early knowing that things would be arriving.
I only got two of an expected five, but that means a reason to jump out of bed tomorrow too. And in fact I posted two things off myself yesterday and am all excited that they will arrive as surprises later in the week.

We get post Monday-Saturday. It's a rare day when nothing arrives. Postcards, cards, bills, letters (for Mum), things from eBay or Amazon (Dad & me), official notices re tax and payments, payslips from Homesitters, catalogues or their deliveries (Mum). I guess it could all be done privately, but the need is there.
