How to respond?
A co-worker of mine will IM me what seems to be narration of her day or something...Right now, she IM'd me that she might get a bagel from this Cafe nearby. In my head I'm thinking "Ok, and....". I need a sharp, witty response that tells her I'm not terribly interested in hearing her minute-to-minute life!
We are friends, by the way. I said "co-worker" because this happens mostly @ work. I just think it's annoying that she wants to tell me everything! "I'm getting breakfast! I'm doing orders! I'm answering a call"...I don't need dialogue!

Just give a simple reply saying "go for it", "that's great", "okay" etc. Keep it simple with no more than 5 words. When she gets enough of these replies, she'll soon realize that you are too busy at work for chit chats. She'll get the hint soon enough.
Perhaps, she likes you and want to hang out and be your friend.
Good luck.

Explain to her that you enjoy her company but don't need a play-by-play of her daily routine.

Let her know that you're a busy person and you are not writing a book on her life so please stop telling me every little detail.
