I listened to a cow orker who is very emotionally needy or starved for attention or something go on and on about her day yesterday without cutting her off and telling her to wrap up her story. Finally though, after about 47 minutes, I had to cut her off. (My phone has a timer.)
She really doesn't have anyone to talk to in her life. I knew she was a talker and learned years ago to cut her off after a minute or two, but today I decided to just let her go. I lost patience after about 45 minutes though, and it took 2 minutes for me to find an opening to cut her off. I wonder if she is so used to being cut off in every conversation, she is unable to stop talking on her own?
So anyway, I think it was a good deed, but now talking about her behind her back negates any karma points I built up.
