Can I run into trouble working? (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in action

'working?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'can i run into trouble' is the wordplay.
'run' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'can'+'i'='cani'
'cani' is an anagram of 'inac'.
'into' with letters rearranged gives 'tion'.
'inac'+'tion'='IN ACTION'

(Another definition for in action that I've seen is " Doing something".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
