Having been at the Astoria Daily for so long, Claire Sinclair could tell with a single glance that the editor was just running a script on her, her words dripping with corporate-speak.
'Oh well, the editor is just trying to make a living.'
Claire Sinclair didn't want to make things difficult for a fellow professional, so she said, "Alright, I'll sign the contract."
Editor Redbird: Then I'll send you the digital contract right away. After you've looked it over, if everything seems fine, please print it out, sign it, and mail it to our company.
A few seconds later, Editor Redbird changed her tune: It'd be better if I went to get it. Mailing it will be too slow. Do you work at the Astoria Daily? Our company isn't far from the Astoria Daily.
Claire: Yep. In that case, you can come get it tomorrow when I'm at work.
Editor Redbird: Okay, sounds good. See you tomorrow.
