Narrative:
I was working 2 radar position combined; adm-left (36) and fri-left (53). The MOA's in 36 were active; and it was past the normal time the sectors would be de-combined. They refused and ordered another controller to work the radar associate position and then eventually to relieve me from the sector. When the controller relieved me; I asked on the recorded briefing if he was there to de-combine the sectors; and he told me he was told to get me out. The sectors remain combined.
