blah blah blah

Maybe I'm still new to this whole office politics game - everyone I work with have had so much more experience since they have been there for years - but sometimes I just don't know what to do! For instance, how do you deal with an over-talkative coworker who means well but just couldn't help but go on and on and on... and on? And if I don't respond - which is usually the case when I'm busy - she would come and stand behind me before she continues. So usually I would have to drop whatever I am working on to turn around - because it wouldn't be polite otherwise. But it's so frustrating when I'd rather be finishing up my work rather than listening to irrelevant details of her on-going grumble and whine! What to do??
