I work for Duro bag / Novolex...Everytime you use a paper bag my company probably made it as we are the largest supplier in the united states. Biggest accounts are whole foods and Trader joes. I'm a machine mechanic and supervisor.

Retired FF/Paramedic. I don't miss it one bit, but I'm reminded daily, by my back and knees.
I feel for you in that department. I was the "Damage Control Petty Officer" which also means Fire Fighter. Working a fire on board ship an explosion knocked me head first into a steel bulk head, end of active duty military career.

I don't blame you for wanting to leave this miserable state. I am 15 miles south west of Chicago, work in the city and with traffic its an hour and a half drive to work.
I used to drive up there twice a week when I was driving a truck for a local tile distributor. I dreaded those days as I had no chance of missing rush hour traffic and I was heavy coming home. I know your pain but glad i didnt have to deal with it every day.

If you know where Savanna is, I spent my Army time there at the 823rd Ordnance Depot - 1967-68.
