I have a hivemind-librarian request.
I am currently surrounded - literally - by information about Sudan and their politics. I'm looking for a reputable source (as in, not Wikipedia) that would support the idea that the government in Khartoum used to (pre-2003) forcibly recruit Darfuris into their Army to fight against Southern Sudan and that the North focused their forced recruitment efforts on Darfur because they didn't like the Darfuris for some reason.
(btw, did you know that forcible recruitment into an Army that wants to use you as a human mind detector, and torture when you try to escape, is *not* enough to get you aslyum in this country. Unless you can prove that they recruited you in the first place because they didn't like your people.)
Jesse, with the date-cancelling luxury.
I feel completely unprepared for this upcoming meeting, but my usually-hyper boss seems totally unperturbed (I can't believe my brain just suggested "nonplussed" for that sentence...I plow on, irregardless).
Yeah, well.
Oh, act all modest. We know you and your buzzing social life.
But it's partly buzzing because I agree to dates with people I'm not interested in, and then I regret it!
Speaking of dating, apparently my (gone!) boss thought I might a lesbian when she hired me. Oops -- so much for increasing diversity in the department? (We're all full up with straight white women.)
Well, maybe if you'd quit wearing chaps to the office your boss wouldn't find your sexuality so ambiguous.

I've regretted just about every date I've agreed to. Usually before, most certainly afterwards. I can't imagine your life.

I forgot to bring my clementine to work today. Please remind me when I get home.
