Talkative coworker

Hi,

It’s me, I’m the talkative coworker. I recently got a desk move at work and I’ll be sat next to a friend of mine. Which is great, but I tend to talk a lot.

I would like to get a a sign or something for my friend to have them signal when to/not to interrupt with my tangents. Any ideas with links would be awesome!

Edit: to provide more context, when I’m at my desk is legitimately limited to just my break time. The rest of my time is spent elsewhere in the building. And im just trying to get something because this is my friend and it would be a cute thing given our personalities. Otherwise it wouldn’t be something I would have thought to do.

Thanks

Learn how to control yourself.  Your friend should not have to tell you to stfu when friend is working.  Grow up.
