Yada yada

My office assitant has been talking straight for the last 10 minutes. I'm not exaggerating. I'm not making it up. I have not said one word, but simply sat here and listened to the damn longest run on sentence in the history of office assistants. And it's not just fluff. She's telling me some deep, personal stuff like it's no matter:

Her husband was abusive, her church is judgemental, her nephew is gay, her adopted child was talken away, she attempted suicide years ago, she's currently not going to church, she likes this morning radio show, what life was like in California, she's going to try a new church, God's been awesome to her, she's not overly religious, she was becoming an atheist before God changed her life around, her son belongs to the masons and there's nothing wrong with it...

I'm trying really hard to be sympathetic with some pretty serious life traumas, but the flapping of her trap is making it extremely difficult.
