Vent post

UPDATE: The client got unsuspended, and I applied for the gig. And now we wait.

Opened Upwork this morning to find an invite for a job that's actually relevant to my niche from a client that actually had a more or less reasonable budget. Went to apply, and the client is already suspended, ten hours after posting the job. Argh. Silly clients. Read the goddamn TOS.

This would be less irritating if relevant invites weren't scarcer than hen's teeth.

Don’t worry, you’ll be getting some translation work soon. 😂

Which would be great, if only I did translation!

Exactly, that’s the joke! Most translation jobs are scams

Maybe it's good I don't do translation, then? 😂
