Default Supposed

Scenario 1:

Today I am working at 8:00PM and right now it's 11:00AM. And I say:

1. I am supposed to work later.
2. I was supposed to work later. (Is 'was' incorrect, here? Is it because 8:00PM has not past yet? Or is it because of 'later'? Or both?)

Thanks.

I am supposed to work, so I better.
I am supposed to work late but I don't want to.
I am supposed to work late but I won't.

I was supposed to work late but now things have changed, and I don't have to.
