OT: I Started An Interesting New Job 

Post#1 » by ALL HAIL » Wed Aug 8, 2012 3:56 am

I'm a well seasoned public school teacher (among other things) who has been on a two year sabbattical from the profession.

I'm from the heart of LA (South Central/Crenshaw District), but live in Atlanta where I recently decided to try my luck at teaching again ... this time at a private school.

No need for congratulations at all (really, it's just another job), I am only posting this because it's pretty interesting that with all this Dwight Howard stuff swirling around, a few days ago I just started working at his alma mater ... Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy (SACA).

His pops, Dwight Howard Sr., is the AD.

Thought you all might find that interesting. That's all.

So now that you're on the inside AH, when will you start dig'in for the real ?

BTW I thought Dwight's dad was a former state trooper ? The AD gig must be just to keep busy.

Not my style DEEP (to fish for information). I mind my own business.

Plus, I haven't had too much to say about this Dwight Howard thing to begin with.

Howard would make the Lakers better, but Bynum is a fantastic "plan B" IMO.

I still think Gasol should come off the bench though.

Yeah I can respect that AH, truthfully I could care less if he comes here or not. Plus I know his dad wouldn't even entertain that anyway.

Lol way to maintain your cool with pops AH. Interesting about Pau coming off of the bench. Go deeper in to that, I'm a little curious about that.

His dad has a job?!

How cruel. If I had a son in the NBA I'd be sippin' champagne with some ladies in my grotto all day long.
