Bonds

One of the most important features of a bond is:
"maturity date - the date on which the issuer has to repay the nominal amount. As long as all payments have been made, the issuer has no more obligations to the bond holders after the maturity date."
I have this sense that my bond at work is due to expire any time soon. A feeling I had for a while now. My issue is that most of the time its maturity tends to extent.
