Hard At Work is a combo card and as such it requiers some help to be really useful. So this is not a cord for people who are afraid of some good JANK.
Earning 2 per is almost always a good thing, but losing a click with HAW, just like in Wyldside case, is sometimes not very helpfull. So what can we do to work around this?
Enter Adjusted Chronotype which will turn HAW into Daily Casts that will last forever. But 8 and two card combo like this is a lot! Yeah, thats true, but take a look at alternatives:
You need two copies of Underworld Contact and some other card that will grant your runner second , probably Dyson Mem Chip or Access to Globalsec if you really into oldschool stuff. Three cards 5-7 combo. And only if you are playing runner that has 1 from the beginning, which means Andromeda: Dispossessed Ristie, Edward Kim: Humanity's Hammer or Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker, to name the most obvious. Also, upcoming runner Sunny Lebau with hers 2 from the start will love this.
UC + Dyson + Data Folding is neutral influence combo, and as such can work in various decks.
Hard at Work at Pancakes Factory is Anarch combo that can work with almost any red runner. You could ease its installing costs with Career Fair and even try to make it 4 cred drip with Gene Conditioning Shoppe, but this will require another card and to be honest I didn't test it yet because I couldn't find enough influence.
Good thing about HAW is that you pay once, and after three turns you are on plus and you don't have to think about it anymore. Apart of remembering to take your creds from the bank!
Downside is, that without resource tutors, you need more copies of it to find it reliably. Currently I run three copies of Hard at Work and three copies of Adjusted Chronotype with the support of Career Fair and most imporatant: Paige Piper to trash all the parts I don't need. Paige Piper looks like a fourth card for this combo, but make no mistake, it will make your draw much smoother.
Make no mistake, HAW and "Pancakes" are "only" 2 per turn, far from late game fantasy about three copies of Underworld Contact and Data Folding installed. But with the little help from Kati Jones it will help you greatly in the middle part of the match.
