This one spirals - “Waste of Time” is the Angry Ops Guy’s break-up song for a client who didn’t get it and a system that never does. It’s fast, frustrated, and weirdly funny in all the wrong places.

Mike Gualtieri is back with Emily Lundy to unpack track three from Ops-285: Curator of Thoughts, digging into lost deals, devalued expertise, and the brutal reality of building someone else’s dream while your own burns out. There’s ops therapy, fat jokes, a tracking tag meltdown, and a heartfelt jab at Mike’s best frenemy, Jack Porter Smith.

If you’ve ever worked 12 hours straight only to be asked “what’s that and where?” - this one’s for you.

Full song track at the end. You’ve been warned.
