Why do we use the post office?
Before the time of the internet, the telephone, or even the telegraph, mail communication was a primary way of contacting others in faraway places, when actually travelling there would have taken days, weeks, or months.

Is the post office open on December 26th 2011?
Unfortunately, No. Monday, December 26th is a Postal Holiday. That being said, it is possible that some post offices at airports will be open (though I doubt it). The reason I mention it is because the one in the cargo carrier area at the Tulsa airport used to be open 24/7 except on holidays. However it's been a number of years since they had those hours at that post office. Also worth mentioning, my local carrier has, in past years, delivered parcels on Christmas day, when Christmas fell on a weekday. So some carriers might (and I stress "might") deliver parcels on Monday, the 26th. However, what with all of the recent postal cutbacks, I find it unlikely that any such deliveries will occur on the 26th (since again, it's a postal holiday this year).

Can the post office hire someone with a misdemeanor drug charge?
It is Postal Service policy to evaluate the employability of each applicant with a criminal conviction record individually. The fact that an applicant has a criminal conviction record is not sufficient to disqualify that applicant from postal employment. Instead, an applicant should be rejected on the basis of a history of criminal conviction only after a specific finding that the history is directly related to the applicant's present capacity to perform as a Postal Service employee. To the extent available, such factors as the following must be considered during such an evaluation:
- Applicant's age at the time of each offense.
- Nature and underlying circumstances of the offense.
- Length of time elapsed since the applicant's offense.
- Evidence of efforts toward rehabilitation, including job training or educational programs the applicant may have participated in during incarceration.
- Information supplied by penal authorities, parole and probation officers, social workers, or social agencies regarding the applicant's progress toward rehabilitation or employability.
- Applicant's employment record, including participation in a job training program.
- Dispensations that may have been granted by the authorities to evidence the applicant's rehabilitation such as certificates of relief from disabilities, certificates of good conduct, and certificates restoring civil rights.
- Nature and location of the position sought by the applicant.
