I have a coworker who clearly doesn't live with anyone and all she wants to do is chat. I have on many occasions told her I need to focus on that I'm busy and she says, "Oh, sorry. But did I tell you about (some niche issue here)?"

I've almost gotten to the point of switching desks.

I work with someone like this but it's over Teams.

Last time she called, I had an idea. I said "I know you've got lots on, and I can go on a bit, so I'll be quick." It didn't work.

She's lovely and I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I'm swamped so having a long conversation about stuff that's not work isn't an option.

That's my MiL in a nutshell. It takes my SO 20 minutes to get off the phone with her.
