Still do not have phone number. Old provider being punk.
Still do not have mailbox. The U.S. Postal service only uses the"Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor gloom of night" crap when it doesn't involve getting a new box. WE HAVE NEIGHBORS ON EITHER SIDE OF US. How is it that we don't have a box? No one seems to have an answer. May go postal. *hysterical giggle*
Nolan says he needs my cell phone (it's a company phone) to give to one of the employees. Not fussed about getting me a new one.
So to recap... No mail, no cell, no phone service. Were it not for the internet, I would be an island.
But no man is an island.
I'm a woman, though.
See? The isolation is getting to me already.
ETA: Sicked Nolan on Postal Jerks. Have key. Hurrah.

NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR GLOM OF NIT
Did they at least bury the damned line yet?

You have to supply your own mailbox. And if you get sucked into it via a snowdrift and break the door off of it (and the mirror off of your car), you have to replace it (and the mirror on your car).
They have Mailboxes at Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, and barring any of those, any hardware store. They generally have two kinds: the kind you hang by your front door, and the kind you stick on a post of some kind down by the road.
The stores I mentioned also have the posts and concrete for planting said roadside mailboxes. You will want the Red Quickrete... it'll say something about posts on the bag.
Also make sure that your numbers are big and bold... You'll get a nastygram if they aren't.

[looks at you incredulously]
How hard is it to go down to the cell phone store and get one? It takes like maybe an hour. Tell Nolan to go and get you a new phone... or get a new one for NewGuy.
Or, maybe I'm just spoiled.
But no man is an island.
I'm a woman, though.
And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries.

Re: NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR GLOM OF NIT
Ours is the last house to be built on the street, and all of the neighbors have been there for 2= years. So you KNOW they're getting mail, right?
After dozens of calls to the postmaster, the managers of the stations and anyone else that would listen, they told me the post office would have to take out one bank of mailboxes and put another in; there wasn't room in the other one for a slot for us.
Okay, after a week, that got done. THEN, they said, the carrier will bring you the keys. So I waited and I waited. Then I told Nolan that I might kill someone if I had to talk to them again, so I sicked HIM on them.
We now have a key to the mailbox. After TWO weeks.
And the cell phone? I just have to be patient. He'll do it eventually.

Ah... That makes sense, then. Yeah, I'd have been all over them like white on rice, too.
Either that, or I'd have put my own box out on a sawhorse by now, and told the post office that since they can't seem to get their shit together they can deliver mail there until they do.
But then again, I'm an asshole when I'm pissed off. (Some would argue that I'm one when I'm not.)

I take it that you're not on the account then?
