Fail
Feb 06
Vous avez une heure à tuer ? Vous traduisez de l'allemand vers l'anglais ? J'ai le job idéal pour vous (ou pas) : 1,4 million de mots à 0,04€. Prenez votre temps :
Quoting deadline: Mar 30, 2010 21:00 CEST (GMT+2)
Delivery deadline: Mar 30, 2010 22:00 CEST (GMT+2)
Et voila pourquoi je ne compte pas sur Proz et compagnie pour trouver du travail.

I give below the posting for a job.
"I urgently need around 3000 words translated (probably in the next couple of hours) from German to English. Interested colleagues may send their application to xxxx@aaaaaa with job number kkkkk and your best rate in the email subject line. No spam or unrelated emails please".
On this I started a proz topic with the following words:
The nerve of it! I would like to give fitting reply to such shameless demand. Any suggestions? Give free rein to your feelings.
This led to an interesting exchange of inputs from various translators. See: http://www.proz.com/forum/money_matters/98728-some_3000_words_within_the_next_couple_of_hours_and_your_best_rate_to_boot.html
