I've just finished my first week at work in a small company and I have enjoyed it however, one of my colleagues is really starting to get on my nerves. She can never go more than 30 seconds (I timed this) without filling a silence, like when we are waiting for the office to open, or at lunch.
Currently she is going over my work because I am training and so she is checking that I have done my practise work to the specs and she is really being a pain. Instead of just saying 'this needs more spacing' she goes on and on for 5 minutes just being repetitive and frankly, I find it a waste of time. Sometimes it is helpful, but 99% of the time she is just repeating what she has said, or the issue she is unclear about.
Also, I am quite introverted and would like to have lunch in piece without having to concentrate on what someone is saying and to not be rude. (What I do involves a lot of concentrating so I would like some R&R at lunch but am getting none. Hopefully when my car is fixed I can sit in it or go for a walk out of the office.) Don't get me wrong, she is a nice person and it isn't stuff like 'Oh I did this' and 'me me me' but she just goes on and thinks quantity over quality and my patience is going.
Any advice on how to survive??
