So I'll fit two days in one post later today.

I was busy defeating Ivo Shandor in Ghostbusters: The Video Game, last night.

That went well. As soon as Egon screamed "CROSS THE STREAMS!" I knew it was over and that I'd just be watching a video of the actual defeat. It's the cue that you've won, by the way. It would have been fun to have an active role in it, but hey, the boss is hard enough to "defeat" as is.

Cue ending scene with Shandor exclaiming that they can't defeat him, as he is a god, which makes Egon scoff: "We eat gods for breakfast!" And bye-bye Ivo!

Ray: *amused* We eat gods for breakfast?

Egon: *with a smile* Too much, you think?

Ray: Nah, I like it!

That bit of dialogue, right there, is so... Ghostbusters it's perfect.

Which, in reservations, 80% of the time, meant I was in trouble for one reason or another (usually minor, oops, you made a typo by two dollars on your rates, please be more careful next time)...

Here, it can be either or, but everytime I've been called in, so far, was to be reaffected to a different product (neutral situation), or to be given compliments (very good).

Today was the latter situation. Apparently, the people I've been helping out the last few months, are about ready to fight over who might get me permanently. I've been told I'm a quick learner, I ask the right questions, amd I want to know the product and its parameters in depth.

So, I was offered to replace co-worker MF when she goes back to reservations in October. She handles the product building side of cruises. And since I'm still relatively fresh off 8 years of cruise reservations, I am considered the best prospect to know and understand how it needs to be done.

Something I find really unnerving and distracting in Ghostbusters fan fiction... and I'm sure that, with English being my second language, I'll probably do that too...

Whenever Egon is speaking and there are spelling, grammar or vocabulary mistakes in whatever he says. I can tolerate it in the rest of the text, no problem, same goes for anyone else saying something, but if it's something that is coming out of his mouth... it's really distracting.

And I have an official IDW comic where he says something that made no sense like that. Wrong word used, instead of a really close variant that means something else altogether. I was all WTF?!
