Prevaricating when faced with the occasional job I can’t easily get out of and really, really don’t want to do.
Great to know this term now in English! In Dutch, we call this woggen. Wog is an abbreviation of werkontwijkend gedrag = work-evasive behaviour; but I already figured that translating it to 'webbing' wouldn't do the trick  )
OK, enough prevaricating; back to my last translation assignment before the weekend

... you should save a copy of the existing one on your HD in a minor resolution (and size) and try to upload again? That would my idea before waiting ages for a response from staff. Hope that will help! Yes, that's it! Thanks so much for your kind help! I'll close my support request. You could apply for a job at ProZ in the meantime 
I'm afraid they may have other plans, as I may have other plans in the near future too.

...when it is a matter of a prospective, rather than a current client. In the former case, it's certainly annoying if after several exchanges the prospective client or myself decides that it's not a go.

Not only is it time-consuming, I also find it extremely boring. Thank God I have my husband and an accounting company helping me.

I personally think that one of the most time-consuming non-translation tasks is looking for the files where they are located. It also takes time is the gdocs is acting up. You won't have any other choice but to experience delays in your work.

Trying to explain some particularly challenging aspects of Czech grammar to English-only speakers. And trying to come up with a polite, tactful and gentle way to indicate to a client that their original translator and/or reviewer does not know the grammar, does not understand English and has an attention span of a mayfly.
