Dear Anonymous,
How much additional time was added? One month? Six months?
I find I can do anything for three months. Discarding your commitment and
going back on your word *at this point in the game* would earn you no points
with me.
My best advice: stick with it and come to work with the attitude that you
get a front-row seat as the drama is played out. Be the consummate
professional and you will walk out smelling like roses.
