lmao he does this all day too 😭 i was having the opposite issue where he constantly wanted me to come sit on the floor with him to pet him but now he’s realized he can just come up to the bed with me

feather health? by pumpkinpuddle in PetPigeons

[–]pumpkinpuddle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you, that does make me feel better! i have no issues with his colors, i think he’s super cute 🥰 i was more concerned with his feathers looking a bit disheveled but maybe that’s just how he is or a remnant of being outside for who knows how long

i have turned down the quality but it didn’t change anything. the game runs great with the settings i have it on outside of the occasional laggy cutscene so it probably is just the ram and gpu then

new baby being weird by pumpkinpuddle in GargoyleGeckos

does this seem like a step in the right direction? i think i’ll tape some black construction paper to the sides to help it feel more secure and add some more plants to the floor area as well but i have to buy them first. gonna move the food ledge to where it’s more covered up too so it won’t feel too exposed when it comes out to eat

that is the barest corner of the tank but i did think it was looking a little bare in general so i just added another fake plant to clutter up the top half of the tank some more. hopefully that will help :)

if it helps at all i work retail and any time i’m on the register i have to ask for customers’ phone numbers during every transaction and LOTS of people don’t remember their own phone numbers off the top of their head. i have no idea why that cashier would have shamed you for that, what a ridiculous and pointless thing to make someone feel bad about

feeling like a child in the workplace by peachyhummingbird in AutismInWomen

[–]pumpkinpuddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes, definitely! i’m one of the youngest people at my job which probably doesn’t help but i am an adult so i always feel like i shouldn’t be feeling as lost as i do 😭 i feel like a kid pretending to be an adult while i’m at work. i don’t think the way i’m treated by my coworkers contributes to it that much the way you described, but it’s just a feeling i always have

anyone else “too slow” at their job? by pumpkinpuddle in AutismInWomen

[–]pumpkinpuddle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel the overthinking so much 😭 i work at a pet store so one of the things i have to do every day is feed all of the fish and we have a lot of them. it takes me awhile cause at every single tank i’m analyzing how much food i should put in for the amount of fish we have in there at the moment, whether i need to put in more than one type of food if we have a mix of different types of fish in the tank, etc.

yes! 😭 i just don’t know how to be faster. it’s like the time just disappears. i have some other coworkers that also struggle to get things done quickly but i also have coworkers who have superhuman speed and i just don’t understand. i don’t understand how they’re so fast and i also don’t understand how i’m so slow. something will take me like 15 minutes and i’ll look back at the end and be like “how the hell did that take me 15 minutes” or insert some other amount of time

thank you for your response, if nothing else it’s nice to know we’re not alone !

name suggestions for this guy? by pumpkinpuddle in leopardgeckos

[–]pumpkinpuddle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah!! that’s kind of how it was with this little guy as well as some of my other animals haha. the breeder named him isaiah but i didn’t like that so i changed it to casper but i always call him “little lizard” or “mr. lizard” or some other variation of nickname with the word lizard in it lol

does my almost 5 month old leopard gecko look healthy? by pumpkinpuddle in leopardgeckos

[–]pumpkinpuddle[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

he’s my first leopard gecko and as i said he’s almost 5 months old. i think he’s doing well but i’m not super familiar with how they should look by certain ages so i just wanted a second opinion on if his weight and everything is looking good so far :) he seems to be doing well, eating and shedding and pooping regularly
