It's easier to think about work.

I guess that would depend on which work you're talking about.

Journalism.

Now you're talking. Hello Clark. Always nice to meet a colleague.

Same here.

So how are things going at the Planet? You're still a fresh face there, right? The first year on the job is always the most frantic.

So far it's a lot of answering phones and cat shows. Still, it's worth it.

Well with a snappy, punchy prose style and an aggressive confidence, you can write and talk your way into just about anything. Good luck.

Well, I'm working on the snappy prose ~~and confidence~~. But I'm determined. Thanks!

Easier than what?

My personal life.

So you're looking for a distraction.

Work is my distraction. There's a lot to be done.

There must be more enjoyable things you could be doing.

Like?

Having fun with me.

I think I'm better off working.

You wouldn't be thinking that for very long if I was there.

It always is.

Agreed.

Are you all right, Clark?

I will be. I don't have a choice.

*sighs very softly* If you need to talk...I'm around.

I'll remember that. Thanks.

It sure does distract from the problem, but in the end it only really masks it.

Sometimes that's the best you can do.

I agree with that statement. *nods* Clark.

Davis. Busy night tonight?

*rubs his hand over his face* Always busy lately.

It seems like it. The crime desk phone is ringing off the hook.
