this thursday is my last day and he handed me a new project last sunday.

he just told me to work on the new project for the rest of the week.

me: you know my last day is thursday
him: it is?
me: yep, the 11th
him: humm okay I'll need to talk to Bob (bob is his manager, director of this department)
me: okay
him: worse comes to worse, I'll call you back later
