they are ok, nice people
but i can't stand it
we are rebels

Try as I might, I can never just pop into my boss's office and ask him a quick question. NEVER. I have tried every tactic short of running past his office shouting out the question. He will start to talk to me after I've run out of his office, and then I have to come back to listen to him, he is my boss after all. He totally takes advantage of the fact that I don't want to be rude and just interrupt him, although I have been doing that lately--still in a gentle way, but I try!

But honestly, he randomly tells me stories of vacations, what his kids have done--you're thinking, "that's not so bad..." But it's bad because he doesn't tell you a quick story. He tells you every last detail.

Your responses should be a BIG hint to her, but her head must be shoved so far up her ass that she can't see what's obviously staring her in the face. Sorry for ya!

Hehehe...at least her remarks were kind of funny but she's weird. Ask her if she visits www.mybosssticksagardenhoseupmybutt.com

It's all about her. "I", "I", "I". She's talking about herself endlessly. It's not PERSONAL, she's the whole world. That's an ego-centric person:

"In psychology, egocentrism is the characteristic of regarding oneself and one's own opinions or interests as most important."

If you are a polite, communicative person, you can't easily detach yourself from these conversations. It goes against your every grain to be cold or rude when someone is imparting personal feelings or stories. Even when they seem out of place or inappropriete. Ever notice that these people don't strike up these convos with certain other types of people? They can sense people who are polite, friendly or at the very least empathetic. They instinctively don't waste their breath on anyone else. For example, others like themselves, who would be too busy talking about their own crap to hear them. I find it hard not to be unwittingly drawn into these one sided conversations, where you are basically acting as the other half of the persons brain while they think out loud. For some reason, even complete strangers (clients) will tell me the most outlandish and personal things on the phone. Not sure why. Unless they are just like that with everyone anyways and have suddenly sensed a listener.
