Sophia, has coworker explained just WTF she was thinking?
I think the daughter just begs for help, and then Mom ends up writing the papers. Actually, I can sort of understand how it happens, because I almost did it for this girl after I read the paper. There was so much to change, I wanted to start over. But I have asked her go through her paper and match all the sentences that are about the same idea before we meet, and I will help her construct a thesis out of those and reorder her paper. She is sort of on her own for the horrible sentence structure, because mang, I only have so much time. And it wasn't just mom helping-- she is dating one of my bosses' sons, and is the nanny for the other boss, and they have helped too! And I have yelled at them! AND not only is this student an English Major, but she wants to be a TEACHER! (of kindergarten, but still!)
JZ, I think you SHOULD call in sick for your last week, especially since your boss has your back. Any angst or challenges that your co-workers might feel really should be addressed to HR, who fucked the entire thing up in the first place. I'm sorry, but you deserve to have straight answers from HR, since it's their JOB. They're supposed to be employee advocates and instead they crapped all over you.
Also, JZ, that does suck. I lost just 5 days of sick time when I was promoted (apparantly I was promoted to a level that has unlimited sick time, but we don't get paid for it at the end of the year). and I was angry. 300 would make me crazy, although I think it is the norm.
You know, I hear stories like this, and I wonder, how come Buffistas aren't running the world?
We spend too much time on the internet.
Also, world domination is a lot harder than it looks.
All I want to do is run over to LUSH, get some bath stuff, get home, clean the cat puke off the rug AGAIN, light a bunch of good smelling candles, and soak in a tub.
My face is totally broken out in a rash, AGAIN.
Also, I need to finish the chapter I'm working on called The Atheist's Guide to Tragedy.
Unless Sophia's coworker can hook me up with some good paragraphs. ahhh ha ha
The Atheist's Guide to Tragedy.
I am interested in this chapter!
We have been without internet at work all week. We now have the perfect storm. Work piled up from internet being gone, mortgage rules changes that go in effect today, national conference next week and a big event the weekend we get back.
I have decided to cease to care and just let the sea take me.

Don't go into the light, Daisy Jane!
Parents writing papers? Mine would drive me to the library to do reasearch (though that ended when I got my driver's license). And if I had to interview an expert in something or other for a school assignment, they'd arrange for me to talk to a suitable friend or co-worker.
Once I got to college? Forget it.
Christ, will this day never end??
Mine did, rather abruptly, when I got sick and then went home.
Maybe that's not what you meant though.
