Thanks everyone! My graduation night was worth it. I spent the whole day (not working at that temp job after all) emotionally processing grad school, my mom's death, and my present circumstances job-wise. The graduation ceremony was 90 minutes and felt great. Then, I went home and ate a late dinner with some ice cream for dessert.

Some people just want you to punch a clock and don't care about your life outside of work hours. I can't do that to myself. I just can't.

I did have a job interview the day after my graduation (red flag: temp to hire...these rarely if ever turn into a full-time job) and was offered a different role at the company that I had zero experience with. I turned it down for a couple of reasons: 1) the company is literally ALL family (the gal who interviewed me said that she and her two sisters get into arguments a lot there) and 2) the job I interviewed for was exactly what I wanted but she gave it to another candidate and then offered me another role for far lower pay, doing something I have zero experience with and no training is offered. Close, but no cigar.
