Dennis Yohnka: Columnist reveals secret life

The Daily Journal: "And where did I gain my 'electrician' credentials? Well, I just got assigned that way. And when the head guy sends me to a work box to get a 'frennelle' (or something like that). I try to bring back the thing that looks closest to what I think a 'frennelle' might be. It's a little like the game of 'Pictionary.'"

Given our current economy and global state it is interesting that he mentions acquiring low end jobs. It seems that big companies are sending american jobs over sees because americans will not work them anymore. we are not willing to get paid min. rate hourly anymore, which is why this year saw the largest influx of college freshman applicants. americans are almost getting too smart for their own good, it is humbling to think about working as the low man verse running the show and i think this attitude is exactly what our country needs now.

It's an interesting sentiment. It seems that lately lots of people are coming up with original ways to get everyone's mind off the current economy. Dennis Yohnka definitely came up with a unique and positive way to look at some pretty rough times.
