Call me Paranoid

So, Planned Parenthood called me Wednesday & said that I was high on their list of people they interviewed & that they wanted to call my boss to do a reference check. I told them that I hadn't told her about this interview & I asked them to give me 1/2 a hour to call her & let her know what was going on. They said they'd call her in the afternoon. So....I immediately called my boss & told her everything. I also told her that I was pretty ambivilent about the whole thing. I told her that the walk to the office was scary & that the job wouldn't be the step-up that I was hoping for. She made a comment to the extent of 'well if you're meant to stay with METRO 1, you will....maybe the scary walk was a sign'....all in all though, I think she was pretty bothered about the fact that I even went on the interview in the 1st place, even though I warned her that I would do an interview if Planned Parenthood called. So....late this afternoon, a former co-worker, who was on my list of professional references called me. She said that Planned Parenthood called her to talk about me. They thought she was one of my supervisors....and she quickly told them that we were equals there & not even in the same department. So, she told me that the guy she was talking to told her that his conversation with her about me was very different than his conversation with my boss. She asked what he meant....and he said that he got the impression from my boss, that she & I don't get along very well. My friend told this guy that it wasn't that we didn't get along necessarily, but that the company was difficult to work for....no real room for advancement or latitude to make decisions..... So....I haven't heard from Planned Parenthood since Wednesday......and now with what my friend tells me....I'm real paranoid & wondering if I'll even have a job at Metro 1 after Monday.....
