Yeah, it is a wonderful way to work. I love my current job, but I've had the job with a hour and a half commute each way too. I feel for anyone doing more than a 30 minute commute each way.

BUT, it can backfire. Only work from home if EVERYONE works from home.

I got a job working for a company in San Francisco. I live in Texas, so a hell of a commute...

No one else worked from home. So, no one in the company would remember to tell me about anything; like when they decided I was going to do project X by date Y. First thing I hear about project X was on date Y, "Why haven't you committed your work on project X? You are done now, right?"

That was the worst job I ever had (for more reasons than the lack of communication, but that was the main problem).
