I must be pure and true
I must contain my views
There must be something else
There must be something good
Far away

@jimr_berkeley I wonder, before the iceberg, how many deck chairs were purposefully jettisoned from the Titanic.

Since ending my 20+ year UC Berkeley career (I quit), this account shall remain dormant. Follow me @jimr_drumr if you like. #movingondotorg

Disgusted by Turmp's visit to the PI in the news, where Duterte is described as "controversial due to his war on drugs and prosecution of criminals without a fair trial." The guy turns his back on murders of the poor if they are considered drug dealers or users.

@rbgunni I only experienced it a few times, so I hope not.

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

Cleaning out my office was easy given that I had to move it 3x in 4 years. Gonna really get closure by going to Warriors-Heat tonight.

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

Whaddaya call the physical pain in your gut from stress/anger/anxiety...

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

Hoping to God I achieve closure tomorrow. Gonna clean out my office of personal affects.

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

It takes a lot out of me to leave this position, more than I anticipated at least. I really enjoyed the job.

Anyone who reads Hollywood gossip knows about Kevin Spacey. That his supporters Netflix et al are shocked is bullshit.

Ridiculous play calling today. 2yd pass plays on 3rd and 6? And no adapting by the coaches. Carr out there audibling a lot https://t.co/3zTIlDDKaC

Fredo: "I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect! "

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

@bglyons That is precisely what I thought.

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

@bglyons would love it!

@the_gar_spot I just don't recognize the "UC spirit" when facing an idiocracy just blindly whacking at the bottom line.

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

@the_gar_spot ya know, that's how I felt too- but the institution lost its way. The stadium. The harassment lawsuits. A failed HR reboot.

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

I refuse to devalue myself to the level I had been reduced. I've been respected by all my peers, clients, and faculty, but not her.

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

Ugh. I looked around me and didnt like anything. Meanwhile I have the most beautiful 5-month old daughter you ever seen. Choice became clear

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

I haven't had a speaking encounter with her for months. Ignored her in the hallways. My new manager comes to work in gym shorts and Crocs.

[Jim Richards @jimr_berkeley]

Shortly after, she made her first hire in the office my manager, as a buffer between us. A guy who in every respect is my junior.
