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. :-)
