Myself, I work from home most often - when I do go to the office, it's
about a 90 mile round trip. (I think we had this discussion before,
perhaps <g>).
But like you, there's no chance of me moving closer to the office, I like
he neighborhood I'm in. But that said, if a better job came along and it
was in, say, MA, I wouldn't discount it as a possibility if (a) the pay
were good, (b) they'd pay relocation expenses, and (c) I could find a
neighborhood there that I liked to live in. Oh, and most importantly (d)
my family was happy about the idea of moving to the area. (d) would be a
deal killer regardless of the pay. :-)
