the secret oversharer

My boss is an oversharer. Nothing is off limits-her boyfriend, her kids, her pre-menopause. She thinks we’re buddy-buddy but all she’s doing is grossing me out. Like, can we be friends without having to talk about your hot flashes and your daughter’s school play? She also wants me to share stuff with her, asking me questions about my personal life. It’s like she doesn’t get we’re not girlfriends out getting cocktails, we’re coworkers. She keeps telling me about how her boyfriend doesn’t listen to her. I think I know why.–Submitted by Vicky, New York City
