. . . but did it have to come unexpectedly, and so soon?
I thought my release date—the last day I’ll be working at IRS this year—was a week from Tuesday, July 8th. Today I found out that my actual release date is next Tuesday, July 1st. Now I have to try to readjust my unemployment coping strategies and hurry them up by a week, and I’m also done out of a week’s time I thought I had for personnel-ish maneuvering to get myself kept on at IRS, as well as a week’s paycheck that I’d been counting on.
In the meantime, I’ve worked ten hours of overtime already this week, and I’m going to work six more tomorrow. Working overtime right up to release date—the agency’s ability to be inconsistent still astonishes me.
