Chatty Kathy

I just wasted 20 minutes I'll never get back. I stopped by my cubicle neighbor's office to tell her that a meeting had been canceled. Here's where I should mention, that I know she talks a LOT. I hear her on the phone and talking to the people who report to her, her other cube wall neighbor and others. The woman likes to talk. But, I've never really been her target...until today.

I walked over (rather than yell over the wall like she does to her other cube neighbor) and told her about the meeting. I started to turn back when she went on a 20 minute babble about the weather, the snowy streets, her paper route at 3 a.m., how she used to live on a hill that made parking difficult in winter, how she went in the ditch today, etc. I believe I nodded and made polite comments here and there (which was dumb), but she HAD to see the complete disinterest in my eyes! Finally I escaped as she was winding down one of the topics...but just barely as she was probably about to launch into another topic. Whew!

And in case you were wondering, her name is Katherin...so she truly is Chatty Kathy.
