It seems that someone noticed that the base of the mailbox was somewhat rusty, so they decided it warranted emergency replacement. The installers left the new keys in the outgoing mailslot on the new box...rather than rekeying the boxes or anything intelligent like that. They didn't even run the keys over the the station my mail is delivered out of...so my carrier(or someone from the lake otis station) has to pick up the keys and drive them back to the station so I can get them there.
I guess I'll be making a divert to the PO to try and fetch my keys on my way to the polling station tonight.
It just erks me how poorly this was planned..they could easily have left a note and a new key in each box and said "We'll be replacing your mailcluster in 1 week, please hang onto these keys until then." But instead, no one can get mail for a day or more depending on how long it takes to get to the PO to get your new key. *grumbles*
