okay, how about a music bed though? (like in badly shot documentaries where there's music while they talk to hide the poor audio recordings). it would have to be superserious and fitting the office, like all classical music all day, no commercials. it would help tune her out but if you get fed up from mozart it could be a problem.

it seems the old lady's brain can't handle the solitary confinement. in prison it's considered torture. but anyway, maybe spend 20 minutes a day pretending to shoot the shit with her and see if that diminishes her... what's the word. it's a behavior of caged animals. i forget.

buy yeah maybe if you give her some attention periodically it will silence her during the quiet time. then again she might be an endless pit so there's a risk to that gamble. or maybe you and the other 5 available coworkers can take turns in the brain-massaging duties.
