Diane is the friend who’s always around and everyone knows. Many of her friends would call her their best friend. She's kind and accepting of others.

They want to get through the work day and they don't have time for Violet asking about a dead sparrow on the sidewalk. They see numerous dead birds throughout the year so it doesn't matter to them. They would prefer to be at home.

She wants to get home after leaving the office early and would prefer to not be stopped by Chuck who thinks her name is Diane. She gets annoyed once Chuck continues to insist they went to school together.

They stick to the rules of their job, they give tickets when necessary and don't negotiate. They're uninterested in engaging with anyone during work hours and would prefer to be left alone to listen to their radio
