They phoned to offer a job to Dorothy, but I told them she already had a job.  Then I told them about her friend Esther.  They asked her to come to their house yesterday at 4 p.m.  She rushed there and arrived at the same time as another lady, applying for the same job.  The lady of the house interviewed them together.  The other one had a stack of references.  Had worked for many embassy families.  She spent the interview trying to brag about all the stuff she could do.  Esther just sat quietly and answered only the questions she was asked.  At the end of their time together the lady of the house asked the first person how much she was expecting to receive in salary if she should get the job.  She immediately stated that she earned 150.000 F (which is a ton of money!).  Then the lady asked Esther.  Her reply was that she had been looking for work for five months and would be grateful for any salary the lady wanted to pay her.  The interview ended and they both left.  As soon as they got outside the first gal started in on Esther, accusing her of stealing her job.  Would she really work for only 10.000 F per month?  She was furious.  In the taxi going back home the lady phoned Esther and asked her if she could start work on Monday morning.  She is ecstatic to say the least.  And we are very happy for her.
