Here's a few story board drawings that I still enjoy.

And here's a few short full board sequences (No sound, just the drawings!) Including the small clip of the Ghost Hunter's show, and the episodes epilogue. Every once and a while I posed things out with a little more detail to help the animators or to get the attitude of a moment across more clearly. (And honestly, any chance I could have Abaddon skittering, I would take it.)

My customers at least understand this overlap. The talkative ones always ask if I'm a student; they want to hear about the actual life waiting for me once I stop being a waitress. I'm 27, but people usually think I'm younger (I hear that HRT and white privilege have that effect on girls). I don't try to be flattered. I hate that this is supposed to be a compliment! I'm one of the oldest waitresses at this diner who doesn't have children—the students come and go, but the mothers have all been waitressing their whole lives. I wonder when Lylet and Barb and Stephanie and Holly and the rest stopped getting asked if they were students?

People say that "waitress" is an outdated and diminutive term, that I should call myself a "server." I like "waitress" because it feels old-fashioned in a way that I find fun, but also because I don't believe that you can solve the issue of misogyny by just changing the name of the thing. The woke executives who manage this restaurant chain call me a "server", but the old men I serve mostly just call me "sweetie", "dear", "babe", "sir", etc. They tip worse when I don't wear makeup, and better when I do my hair in pigtails.
