From toplessrobot, The writer of this article is a journalist. As such, the writer has a searing hatred for how Clark Kent slums his way through his job as a reporter for the Daily Planet. Yes, he's Superman, but he's also got a Metropolis lifestyle to pay for.

You can't get anything done on a day-to-day basis if you're constantly flitting off to fight crime. With so many absences, he should be put on probation. To give credit where it's due, it is clever of Kent to write for the news section of the Daily Planet in order to learn about the city's criminals, but he could very well buy and listen to the police scanner at home instead of being so suspicious at work. How he's getting paid for so little work is astounding.
