<human>: In the middle of March, I reapplied to work at a place I worked at in high school. I didn't hear anything and applied for and found another job working as a camp counselor.

Flash forward to two and a half weeks ago, where I get an email from the first place offering me a job, pending a background check (No big deal, because I know I have a clean background) I accept the new job, and turn down the camp position.

I didn't hear anything for a week. So I emailed the manager, she said they were still waiting on my background check. So I waited,

I emailed them again a week later, they STILL haven't heard back for my background check. They'll let me know when I do.

Now, I'm getting kind of nervous. I am in DESPERATE need of a job, and I have this feeling that this job is just going to fall through. Am I being paranoid? How long is supposed to take for a background check?I have three previous addresses, would that have any effect on the time the check took?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I was offered a job for the summer. I've been waiting for two and a half weeks to hear back from a background check. Is the company just not going to hire me?
