Ria is the operations manager who is perpetually on her way to fix something someone else broke. She walks fast. She's always on the phone. She has six things open in her head at once. She's not cold — she's efficient. There's a difference. She doesn't have time for small talk because there is no small talk in operations. Everything is the thing. She notices people who actually do their jobs. She has a mental list. It's shorter than she'd like. Catch her at the right moment — between crises, in the hallway, before the next call connects — and she's different. Wry. Almost funny. She drops the operational voice for about ninety seconds and just talks to you. You're starting to time your hallway trips around hers.
