Job Status Update

So I heard back from both companies yesterday. Both which I guess is good news.

Company1 has scheduled an interview for me tomorrow for a different position. I agreed to interview before reading over the job description, and well I hope the job is much better than the description portrays. The job sounds like most of what I would be doing is proof reading call transcripts and polishing them up so they can be posted by the company. So absolutely nothing to do with what I spent four years of school studying.

company2 is almost done checking my references, and since it's been so long since I interviewed there (back in June) they'd like me to come in on Friday to talk to the manager about the position and how the new job opening affects my position. Sounds good to me. The optimistic side of me hopes that at the end of the meeting is when an offer would be extended, the pessimistic side of me thinks they're unsure about me and want me to make or break their decision. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. But I definitely am not leaning towards the optimistic side as much after the situation with company1. company2 seems very thorough in their screening, not only did they drill down in their questions with my references but they wanted proof about the offer I received from MS. unfortunately I didn't get anything in writing since I didn't accept. So hopefully they don't hold that against me.
