Narrative:

Due to short staffing in the south area of ZJX; I was informed 15 mins prior to the end of my 8 hour shift that I was being forced to stay for 2 hours of overtime. The shift today was an extremely busy and complex day. Severe WX was affecting all of our sectors all day. We dealt with heavy rertes and complex deviations each session. Every session today was either right at; or longer than; 2 hours on position due to short staffing. I am extremely exhausted. I feel that; due to the long stints on position during heavy traffic and complexity; I am not in good condition to be working traffic; especially on the last 2 forced hours of overtime.
