I lived in Chesterfield for 3 years from 2005 - 07, I was in the Coastguard at the time, our office was near the corner of Gratiot and Mt. Elliott and I was a night security guard at the Faygo plant.

I had a word with myself, I said I don’t like my attitude but unfortunately I can’t get rid of me because no one wants to work these days. I had to settle for giving myself a slap on the wrist which won’t change anything.
