I was working in state government at this time.  They are adverse about
paying OT.  I was an "employee," so I got comp time.  The folks who were
usually aiming to cause/get OT were contractors, who would have been on
paid OT (which came out of a "different bucket").

Getting up to a certain amount of comp, without going over, was a good
thing if you were nearing retirement as it figured into the computation of
your final compensation and, therefore, retirement pay.
