Congratulations, stay safe! 
I was a dummy when I did it. Had laid out my plans, all paperwork in, my last day worked was to be Dec 9th, retirement effective Jan 1st, was to be on "leave" between. Come home Dec 9th after a regular shift mostly in court, marked off duty, went in house, big snowstorm hit, wrecks backed up, troopers were behind, dispatch called the house … "Can you come out?" they asked.
How could I not, 46 hours in three days, then when I put in for my time ... some obscure rule in payroll down at HQ in Richmond meant I would have to undo retirement and reset everything & I was quickly pi55ed. I just give it to them, not that I needed the $$$, but it was the principle.
In retrospect, I think that I should have stopped it and spent three days at the office leisurely resetting it just to get the $$$, but already in my last month I had attended a 4x fatal airplane crash, a barricaded subject who committed suicide, a birthing on the interstate, and that 46 hour 3 day "Snowmigeddon". It was time.
