The last time I tried the smile and nod solution I got caught out. I had zoned out not heard what the boss was saying.

i have tried it doesnt work, she will just carry on. i have no resorted to putting my headphones on so that i can use the excuse "sorry what, i didnt hear you, im listening to music"

I think that's a difficulty most drummer share. Ever considered an electric set? Pricey but worth it IMO.

I'm working my way through all of them at the moment. I have 7-13.2 on various platforms, now I need 1-6, Crisis Core, Tactics, 12-2, Tactics A2 and 4 Heroes of Light. I can bet money that I skipped something in that sentence.

seriously she is old...she is almost 70... And she has been working for this attorney for the past 12 years and it used to be just the two of them so im thinking she is starved for conversationi think that's a difficulty most drummer share. Ever considered an electric set? Pricey but worth it imo.

The drummer I used to play with stays in a flat now so he's gotten a set of electric drums, and he loves them. Aside from not being loud, he mixes the sound from his kit and from his computer so he can play along to songs and hear it all together through his earphones.

You should let her tell you stories from the old days. Those are the best. I don't have any grandparents anymore so i miss those stories.

I guess growing up its taught to you as an entitlement. I know I was also told to respect my elders, and today when I engage with someone much older than me, I just HAVE to be respectful.

Get someone to phone you and apologise that you got to take this. Then when you get back say something along the lines of: "Ooo better get this done". The interruption of the phone call will give you the chance to let her know that you got to work and yet the interruption wasn't done by you but by whoever phoned you. Psychologically it should be fine with her.
I'm making this up but it sounds plausible.

See... Totally worth it!
Yeah I just avoid doing that all together now. It's just easier to actually pay attention or say "Sorry i'm too busy to talk right now."
I think the idea is that being alive for 70+ years means you've probably, in some way or another, earned your respect.
