so no matter what I try, reblogging that other post with this addition literally just will not work, it just won't go through, I don't know why, I don't know how to fix it

so I'm gonna try making this into a fresh post and pray that it actually works this time

it didn't work, I've removed the gif that I had in here on the off chance that it was causing the problem somehow

edit: IT WAS THE GIF THE FUCKING GIF THIS WHOLE TIME HDKLSNAKZH

attempt no. 5 here we go, and I do in fact have it backed up now

the fic is Grocery Blues by Nimrod the Writer on fanfic.net

it's about Danny getting a job at a grocery store but despite always having to run off to fight ghosts, he somehow never gets fired

I heartily recommend reading it before reading the rest of this post because spoilers

...

you good? great!

so yeah the twist in the fic is that the store is actually owned by Vlad, and he won't let them fire him because he gets a huge kick out of Danny technically working for him

Danny is understandably horrified by this revelation

but I couldn't help thinking, what if it was the other way around?

what if Danny went out of his way to find a company Vlad owned, and apply for a job there, knowing that Vlad wouldn't let this opportunity pass

Danny gets the job remarkably easy, and the manager turns a blind eye any time he disappears from work, and he stills gets paid for the whole shift

he tests the waters slightly by suggesting to the manager that he's thinking about quitting, and the man completely panics and offers him a raise

he doesn't try this again, knowing he can only push so hard before Vlad figures out what he's doing, he also just feels really bad for the manager who is clearly terrified of whatever punishment Vlad promised if he let Danny slip away

meanwhile, Vlad is taking every opportunity to make snarky remarks about his new job, Danny plays dumb to any subtle hints Vlad drops

and while Vlad is thinking about how stupid and naive he is, Danny is secretly laughing behind Vlad's back, abusing the hell out of his immunity at work by picking up as many shifts as humanly possible despite only showing up half the time

to Danny's credit, he does go to work when he can, he only leaves for ghost hunting, but he also tends to take naps in the supply closet or spend extra time on his lunch breaks to do homework, when he does actually work though he does a really good job to make up for it, his manager and coworkers aren't bad people after all and he doesn't want to make things too difficult for them

it's just Vlad he wants to squeeze money out of, and he seems to be willing to fork out whatever money it takes to keep Danny there, even if it means putting on extra staff to make up for his absences

he does also manage to pull one more threat to quit in order to negotiate a pay rise for the rest of the staff though, by this point he knows it's only a matter of time before everything falls apart

in the end, Vlad still hasn't figured shit out but is just bursting to rub this whole thing in Danny's face and he finally spills the beans himself

he expects Danny to be horrified about working for him, but instead Danny's just like "damn it Vlad you couldn't wait one more month?? now I owe Tucker fifty bucks"

and Vlad's just like 😦

Danny is fired the next day

but hey he got the minimum wage raised for a good month or so and made bank while only doing half the work

Vlad tries to pull the whole "wow Daniel manipulating people to get what you want? you're more like me than you realise" schtick

and Danny just responds like "actually it was Sam's idea and also wringing money out of a capitalist asshole basically makes me Robin Hood now excuse me while I go flash my cash and give waitstaff the tips they deserve"

#lula's headcanons #danny phantom #is this post even worth the effort any more #am I just doing this out of spite now

Oh no! Ah! I need help :~(

I know it’s long, but please give it a read!

As I’ve mentioned, I’m currently on medical leave from work to give my body time to recover from 6 months of MRSA infections, a seemingly endless Lyme flare, and to figure out my meds and broken sleep/wake cycle.

It takes between 1-2 weeks for the short term disability application to go through. I thought I was going to be fine because a lot of coworkers have donated their paid-time-off (PTO) hours to me to use in the meantime...

But, as it turns out, none of the donated PTO was applied to today’s paycheck, which was for pay period 1/13-1/26. My last day at work was 1/20, and before that, each shift was only between 2-5 hours tops because I kept needing to leave early once my ever-increasing mobility issues started to kick in.

So instead of the full paycheck I was expecting, I received less than half of what I normally make. I was not able to set much money aside throughout the month, as I was missing a considerable amount of work/hours by continuously needing to arrive hours late, or leave hours early.

I was wholly expecting to be able to pay rent out of this check and to just skimp by on what was left over until next check (2/14), but with what I received I don’t even have enough to make rent, let alone feed myself, put gas in my car to get to/from appointments, etc. I’m so scared!

All of my other bills are good until after my next check, which should be normal. All of my creatures have plenty of food to last until then, as well. I’m solely worried about rent, human food, and gas. I don’t know what else to do but ask you guys for assistance! I don’t have family or any other sort of safety net, and my savings has been depleted through all of the work I was missing between August and when I left for my leave of absence.

If you would, if you could, please consider donating some funds my way, if you can spare it. I’m so so sorry to ask.

From what I have in the bank right now, I would need around $100 more to make rent. I’m pretty good at making money stretch when necessary, but I usually need a minimum of $300ish to make it the two weeks between checks.

So I suppose I’m asking for your help in raising anywhere from $100-$500 to get me through until my next check.

I’m not really sure what I could offer in return. You could request specific photos of specific pets in my care! I won’t be able to pay anyone back, because once the short term disability kicks in, I’ll only be making 60% of my usual wages. 😳

I have Venmo, ApplePay, CashApp, and Facebook Measenger. I don’t have PayPal, but my best mate does, and you could send it to her! So if PayPal is your preference, inquire within for the info. I don’t have my own because I simply do not know how to use it.

I prefer to avoid CashApp if possible, but if you are able to donate anything at all, please use whichever app is best for you!

Venmo: @remywalsh

ApplePay: Inquire for phone number

Fb Messenger: Remy Walsh; profile photo is me laying on some concrete.

CashApp: $arlovenn

I have until 2/5 to pay my rent without a late fee.

If you would consider reblogging this for me, that would also be greatly appreciated. I know that money is tight for a lot of us these days, so I feel quite guilty posting this request. I’ve never been this broke before! I’ve never been unable to pay my rent. I’m quite scared, honestly. Trying not to panic.

P.S. dogblr mutuals feel free to friend me on fb whether you’re able to donate or not :)

#dogblr #ratblr #sorry this was so long winded

Addendum, Part Sixteen (Chicago P.D.)

Title: Addendum

Chapter: Got the Munchies (Part Sixteen)

Fandom: Chicago P.D.

Rating: T/PG-13

Author's Note: This oneshot picks up at the end of "A Night Owl" (3x15).

The ringing ceases with an audible click, and then her gravelly, giggly voice filters through the speaker and into his ear. The sound of it tugs his lips upward into a smile; the question contained within it causes his own chuckle to burst forth because, yeah, he kind of does have the munchies now.

"Starving," he tells her, and his smile deepens as her laughter cuts through the phone, as he follows her instructions to hold on and listens to muffled words as she tells someone not to leave something anywhere. He has no idea who the someone or what the something might be, but his attention is pulled from what he overheard to the silent mimicry of the last two people exiting the store.

The former Marine who cracked jokes about a pot shop being his stepping stone out of rehab stands silently by the front door; his military training evident in the way he positions his body and keeps his eyes scanning the horizon as his boss - their boss - works on locking up for the night. Jay's brow furrows when he spots Brianna patting the guy's chest as she says her goodbyes for the night, when he notices how the gesture causes the guy's eyes to widen slightly and his jaw to lock tighter.

Yet the furrow in his brow releases when he hears he say his name, and Jay shifts slightly in the driver's seat of his car as he drags his attention back to the woman on the other end of the line. Gives a small nod in farewell when he catches Terry's attention as the former Marine watches Brianna dart across the parking lot to her car, as his new coworker eventually follows her lead and heads to his own pickup truck parked three spots down from Jay's car.

"Are you done for the night?" The voice in his ear questions, and Jay offers a hum in response before asking if Erin still wants to grab dinner. "Yeah, I gave Burgess her toothbrush so I'm good for dinner."

"Her toothbrush?" Jay questions because he has no idea how a toothbrush became a part of getting drinks with Burgess and some of the women from Med or Firehouse 51. But Erin's soft chuckle accompanies instructions not to worry about it, and she shifts the conversation to be about when and where they want to meet for dinner.

"I'm beat. Can we just do takeout at my place?"

"Hmm," Erin hums, and the sound of music, laughter, and clinking beers downs out the sound of her voice for a moment as she pretends to consider his offer. Or, at least, he hopes it is pretending because while he'd happily take her out wherever she wants to go or cook her something at home, he also thinks curling up on his couch and fighting over the last egg roll sounds like a better way to end a day where he worked back-to-back shifts. "Better idea. We get takeout at my place."

He scoffs at bit at her suggestion - his eyes fluttering shut as his lips twitch into a smile - because he should have known that her objection would be centered around his apartment. He can count on one hand the number of times she's stayed there overnight since they went official back in October. Can't count on one hand the number of times she's complained about the lack of windows, the smallness of his couch, or the minimal number of pillows on his bed. All complaints that, if he's been honest, he's started to consider in his decision to start looking for a new place.

New apartments - whether rented or owned - cost money, though, and that's why he's ended up spending his night working security at a pot shot. Setting aside his reservations about putting more drugs on the street - even if it is just pot - and agreed to stay on his feet for a couple more hours a day instead of spending his downtime on Erin's couch. Getting in that form and function.

"Your place, it is," he agrees after a moment, and he glances down at the clock to try and come up with an accurate ETA. "Want me to pick you up at Molly's? I can be there in twenty."

"No," she replies explaining that he'd have to drive past her place to get there and, besides, she and Burgess drove over seperately so she needs to get her car home anyways. "I'll head out now and meet you there. Is Chinese good? I call and order our usuals."

"Yeah, that sounds great. I'll see you in a bit," Jay says ending the call when Erin says she'll see him soon. He toss the phone onto the passenger seat beside him, shifts forward in his own seat, and reaches for the key in the ignition to turn the car over. His eyes scan over the empty parking lot once more before he shifts the car into reverse and heads towards Erin's place.

Traffic is heavier than he anticipated for this time of night, and the smell of takeout Chinese food already permeates the hallway by the time he finds a parking spot and makes his way inside Erin's building. Figures that means almost all the eggrolls have found a new home in Erin's stomach as he raps lightly on the door to her apartment.

"Hey, babe," she says when the door swings open, and the repetition of her earlier greeting causes him to smile because who knew Erin Lindsay was so into pet names? And before he can stop himself, before his stomach can tell his brain that he is far too hungry to start this right now, his arm is snaking around her waist and pulling her into him. His head dips down, and his lips find hers. Capture the words she was going to say, the question on her lips in a series of hungry kisses as he backs them both into the hallway of her apartment.

The door slams shut behind them thanks to the kick of his boot against it, and he slips his hand under her blue jean shirt and her black tank top to rest it against the bare skin of the small of her back. Presses another kiss against her lips until he feels her hand press against his chest, until he feels her pushing him ever so slightly away. And his head rears back to give her some space, to take in the slightly stunned look on her face.

"Okay," Erin says in that same joking tone she used less than an hour ago when she answered the phone and poked fun at his new job. "Aren't you supposed to be too mellow to do anything but eat?"

And he tries to laugh at her joke, tries to come back with a suggestive comment about what exactly he wants to eat tonight, but the fingers on his chest switch from holding him back to softly tracing circles onto his skin through the fabric of his jacket and she's looking at him in a such a way that makes it clear those kind of jokes aren't going to fly tonight. Makes it clear that she knows something happened.

"Did she hit on you?" Erin questions as her eyes narrow, as her laughing mirth becomes twinged with a bit of jealousy. Jealousy that deepens as he stumbles through a convoluted reply of denial and then acquiescence of the possibility followed by assurance that he's not interested.

"I'd tear up her phone number," he promises, "but I kind of need it for when I have to call out sick."

"Thought you didn't get sick?" Erin sass back.

"I don't," he assures her, and his features twist into a smirk. "I just like having you take care of me. Nothing cures all ailments like undiluted soup out of a can."

The comment earns him a roll of the eyes and a light smack of her hand against his chest because she forgot to add a cup of water one time and he's never let her live it down. Yet the fingers that smacked him still as the smirk on his face droops, as her eyes search his for an answer that he's not sure he has to give.

Seven years ago, he would have been drawing too many similarities between Terry and himself and Mouse and the other members of his unit who made it home with limbs and demons attached. And he's not sure how to tell her about that, to let her know about the part of his life that he's tried to put behind him. How to explain that he was too weak to face the third tour that Terry managed, that he ended up falling down a similar hole to the one the Marine is trying to crawl out of.

But he's not that guy. Not anymore. So, instead, he reminds her that six months ago, the two of them would have been running an op to bust up the place that now employs him.

"Well, the brass says this will clear up resources. Let us go after the big fish moving the heavy stuff rather than the backyard growers or those with a couple of plants in their garage like Al," she offers with a shrug and a small smile. The smile falls, though, as she looks up at him, as she sees the way his jaw has become locked. "If you really need the money, Jay, I'm sure something could be-"

"No," he interrupts because his dad's mantra of an honest wage for an honest day's work still screams in his brain despite the years of silence between them. Because he doesn't want to work something out with Voight or the Outfit or whoever helped her cover the down payment on this place. His desire to move, to put down firmer roots in Chicago can wait until he's got the cash in the bank, and he can pick up a couple of shifts protecting weed rather than taking it off the street to make that happen.

"It's not so bad. There are some good folks there. Former military guys."

"Oh,yeah?" Erin questions as she steps out of his embrace, as she jerks her head to the side in a gesture for him to follow her the rest of the way into the apartment. "Anyone you need to buy a toothbrush for? I've got extras."

"A toothbrush?" He questions because he still has no idea what a toothbrush has to do with how they both spent their after-work hours tonight, and the befuddled look on his face was clearly what she was going for because she laughs. Promises to tell him all about it over dinner as she heads back into the apartment towards the living room and he follows to find the food assembled on the coffee table in front of the couch. The cartons of fried rice, lo mein, and kung pao chicken open and plopped next to two bottles of beer and small, empty take away container that he would be willing to bet today's paycheck used to contain egg rolls.

"You ate all the egg rolls?" Jay asks in an exasperated tone as he peels off his coat and drapes it over the side chair.

"Hey, you're the one with the extra paycheck," Erin replies with an unapologetic smirk on her face as she grabs the carton of fried rice - a pair of chopsticks already haphazardly sticking out of the carton - and falls back onto the couch. "You can spring for the extra egg rolls when you've got the munchies."

19 People Reveal the Moment Someone Completely Changed Their Lives

Sometimes all we need to make a big change is a little bit of inspiration. These 19 stories of people totally transforming their lives with one tiny change might provide that bit of inspiration you need to do the same! If you’re happy just the way you are, these nice stories are guaranteed to brighten your day.

A guy I know constantly looked so tired and napped all the time during the day. He would nap so hard that you would have to shake him to wake him up, and he could fall asleep anywhere super fast. I asked him about it and he told me he felt tired all the time because he couldn’t sleep at night, he figured he just had insomnia or something but refused to go to a doctor about it. One day he had a legit mental breakdown after a few drinks, we basically had to babysit him all night and I’m convinced it was because of his constantly exhausted state.

Not long after that incident, he went to the doctor about his sleep and it turns out he had been living with severe sleep apnea for years. The doctor told him he was basically on the verge of a heart attack or stroke because of it. Now he sleeps with a special mask at night and he has completely changed for the better. He visibly has way more energy and his performance in school went through the roof. –Frostedchunks

Worked with a guy at AutoZone that had two set of kids and two sets of child support payments. He worked 40 hours with us and then 30-40 at a grocery store just killing himself to survive. Turns out that he was like 9 hours away from a degree he had begun a decade earlier and he just randomly mentioned it to a coworker while they were stocking things. The managers at both stores knew his situation and worked his schedule together to get him the hours he needed. They started a tuition fund that anyone could donate to and both sat him down to say he needed to finish his school. The school put together a pre-req class for him, which he made an A in, and off he went one class at a time. One year later he walked the stage with a marketing degree and turned his whole life around at 41 or 42. –SaddestClown

I had a friend that had an addictive personality. He was incredibly smart but liked to party too much. During junior year of high school, he got in a car accident, broke some bones, and got addicted to the pills he was prescribed. He spiraled downwards after that and barely made it out of high school. Most people lost contact with him and thought he would just be another lowlife.

A few years after high school one of our mutual friends committed suicide and he took it very harshly, but it was enough to change his attitude. He took up an interest in investments and decided to move away from his burnout friends to attend a college. He graduated in less than 4 years and ended up working for a reputable bank earning six figures, and now he’s always posting his luxurious vacations on Facebook, it was a crazy turn around for him. –Willbo

My lifelong friend went down the heroin/jail path in his early 20s. His personality was always to “Go with the flow”, for better or worse. He became part of a terrible group of people that routinely did awful shit in order to score. Imagine robbing your own grandmother, that caliber of desperation. After a stint being locked up and getting clean, he stopped talking to anyone from that group. No communication whatsoever, cold turkey. Lived with his mom, found a job he could walk to since his driver’s license was long gone and started getting in shape physically. He did counseling, broke his heroin habit, got into martial arts as a positive outlet for his energy. Talking to him now, he says breaking contact with all those people was the only way he made it out. –TurboAbe

About 5 years ago I started doing this little mental trick… if there was some small thing I needed to do I just counted to 3 in my head and did it. Stuff like “1,2,3: put on my workout clothes”, “1,2,3: empty the dishwasher”, “1,2,3: answer that email”, “1,2,3: turn the TV off”.

I promised myself that every “1,2,3” would be something I could achieve in less than 10 minutes and that I would never fail to do something once I finished the countdown. I was amazed at how many of life’s problems were solved by overcoming those little moments of inertia during the day.

My level of motivation before and after that shift was night and day. It made a huge difference in my health, career, financial state, etc. I know it probably sounds silly, but my life made a massive and quick change for the better once I adopted this strategy. –Trent_A

via: Shutterstock

I quit my minimum wage job and stopped talking to my abusive dad. Some 9 months later I got hired into my current job, got my driver’s license, bought a brand new car, and have started losing weight gradually. It’s been 2 years and my car is a little over half paid for and my dad has no idea how awesome my life is. I plan to keep it that way. –HolyOrdersOtaku

via: Shutterstock

One week in high school I decided that I would go for a bike ride every day after school. Massive improvement in attitude and motivation. I began to like school more, got my homework done earlier, and I also got into shape which was an added bonus –atooch

via: Shutterstock

Getting into a routine. Growing up with school and odd work hours, things just seem hectic. Working a set schedule has really helped me in life. Jacon2012

via: Shutterstock

A homeschooler had drifter parents and unemployed friends. He decided on his own to start school in grade 11, graduated, got a trade that he hated so started going to university and working on the side. He graduated with high honours and just started his dream job. –cisco54

via: Shutterstock

Moving to a new state and starting over. It’s short-term and if you don’t keep doing the work necessary to improve you will slide into old behaviors. But just riding the novelty of it all in the beginning can set you up nicely. A fresh start can’t happen when you’re doing the same old things. –283diamonds

via: Shutterstock

My coworker dropped out of high school and basically just became a druggie until he was about 21, working odd jobs and occasionally being homeless. After that, he decided to take a brief web development course(I think it was an intense 9-month course or something, basically a full-time job) and now he works in web development with me.

He’ll sometimes mention how he thinks my 4-year degree is impressive, how he regrets wasting all his time, etc. But I think it’s pretty impressive to go from where he was to being in the same career as me. –sasquartch

via: Shutterstock

A friend met the right girl. He had been mostly insufferable for years- overly needy and demanding of his friends while simultaneously annoying and picky and abrasive at the same time. He met his now-wife and he mellowed out 100% and is now cool to be around again. Barkingpanther

via: Shutterstock

In middle school there was a guy who was always goofing around in class, would get in trouble a lot, and didn’t seem to care about school at all. Once high school came around he was suddenly taking advanced calculus classes and ended up getting into a really good school after graduating. I always wondered what caused the change, until one year there was a little snippet in the yearbook about him where he said that his cousin basically just told him to stop messing around and start caring about school or else he wouldn’t end up in a good place in life, so that’s what he did. –0321654

via: Shutterstock

What got me off WoW was having a kid, the look my wife gave me the first (and only) time she asked me to help with the baby and I said: “but I’m in a raid” was bone chilling. I logged out then and there, canceled my subscription and haven’t played in 9 years. –whiskymakesmecrazy

via: Shutterstock

Not someone else but myself.

Spent 5 years in prison for armed robbery. Been on parole for 8 months now. Started as an intern at a big marketing company. Signed my contract as a sales manager today. Loving GF is pregnant. Got a nice apartment and feel happy as s**t. –DerDieDas

via: Shutterstock

Last year in school I was making really, really s**t grades. Wouldn’t have passed if not for the mercy of my teachers. I posted on Reddit about my aversion to work and the intense sense of dread I get just knowing I have to do something for school. Some Redditors suggested I might have ADHD.

I got prescribed Vyvanse almost immediately after going to the doctors and I am now in my junior year of high school doing great. Last year’s GPA was a 2.6. This year’s is a 4.2. –pbwarren2001

via: Shutterstock

Kid I knew in high school purchased Bitcoin back around 2011. Just sold for over $20 million. –DaLagavulin

via: Shutterstock

Managed an apartment community where one insanely obese man splintered the bottom of his shower from simply standing on it. We replaced it at no charge, but the embarrassment got to him. Within a week he found a dietician and started walking around the community. Within a few months, he bought a bike and started riding around the neighborhood. Within a year he dropped what seemed to be at least 100 lbs. Within 2 years he weighed less than I do now.

Casey, if you happen to see this (and I know you’re a Redditor), you’re a freaking inspiration! Keep at it! –RVBY1977

via: Shutterstock

Not someone else, but a personal habit I picked up. I’m not sure how much this helps other people, but I just started making my bed every morning. I was pleasantly surprised at how much more productive in the mornings I became. Now making my bed is almost like hitting the “I’m not tired anymore” switch in my brain. I know it’s all mental conditioning, but I think it really works. Takes like 30 seconds once you get the hang of it. –roketmanp
