instead of wasting 30 minutes?
Did the paycheck clear? Did you get paid? Then it wasn’t a waste. It’s part of the job. Do your job. Even the parts you don’t like.

I mean, yeah, sometimes it is. Most of the time its just Debbie talking about her kids little league baseball game though

That’s still part of the job. Building and maintaining relationships allows you to call on those relationships to be productive. Even people that seem useless could be connected to other people who are useful.
It’s also part of the job to maintain a baseline of morale.
If a person is truly a time waster, set a boundary and tell your boss.

It’s how I’ve explained it to myself over the years. Otherwise people are insufferable :-p.
