My last boss at my last job in Atlanta was your classic middle-manager, and thus a chatter-er. In fact, Larry was so bad that the 5 of us who reported to him called him "Yappy" behind his back.
I was finally able to bring one staff meeting to an end by loudly interrupting one of his never-ending prolixities with "Does your train of thought have a caboose?" and he had to admit no, no it didn't.
He really needed to find a chapter of "OnAndOn Anon". He put the "All" in "Small Talk".
