USPS thinks my worms are funny.
I ordered my mealworms without knowing much about raising mealworms. It turns out that you kill mealworms before drying them by putting them in the freezer for 15 minutes. Needless to say, we've set records with our temps out here.
Fortunately, the company second guessed me and didn't ship until Saturday and sent them overnight. In the meantime, my husband went to the post office and asked them to hold my worms. He must have quite the impression.
They were supposed to arrive today so I called around 8 am because I hadn't received a call from them and I wanted to reinforce the whole thing about them holding my worms.
The woman who answered the call started laughing. I heard laughter in the background. I was informed that there was a huge sign on the wall stating that the carrier was not to take out my worms. And everyone, absolutely everyone, knew not to touch my worms.
Imagine what they would think if they knew that we measured the temp in the basement and it's not warm enough so now the worms have to be in the living worm next to a radiator. (Rubbermaid tub with lid - what could go wrong?)
Tracking shows they arrived this afternoon. Just keep my worms warm!
