Are you driving, or is some of it public transportation? Not to be a wet blanket, but spending 2 hours a day driving can become very wearing, and not just on your car!
On a positive note, congrats! What will be your new responsibilities?

It's not so bad when you get used to it. I've been driving 2 hours a day, to and from work, for the past 10 years. Before that, I was a consultant and I drove, on average, 5 hours a day. That was tiring.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I'll be travelling by car.
Did public transportation while I was in school, that's pretty tiring as well!
And thanks, I'll be having the same function as I have now, software engineer, but in a different environment, using different tools (but still C# and SQL Server), etc.

Welcome to old-man life. Looking at the clock, seeing it's 2200, and thinking "I need to get to bed."
Up at 05, in at 07 is my schedule BTW, so I feel your pain.

I should be IN bed by 22:00 
Not ideal for an evening person 
Ah well, I'll suck it up for now

For the last 18+ years, I've commuted an hour each way, to two different jobs.
I don't mind the commute because it allows me to think about the day's activities on the way in and clear my mind of the day's activities on the way home.
I have the option of taking interstate highways, but prefer the secondary highways - less traffic, more scenic.
And, for the last 6 years, it has been: up at 5:00, leave at 6:00, leave work at 3:30.
So, decide in your own mind if the commute is worth it to you.

It's probably worth it for now, but I don't see myself doing that for the coming 18 years 
That's A LOT of hours wasted in traffic.
Well, as you said, you don't consider it waste, I do

My longest commute about 45 mins by car, just over an hour in public transport, and 45 minutes on my bicycle. (without the special bike paths and flatness everywhere where you live.) This week every day.
Cycling is:
- the most pleasant,
- less stressful method,
- almost completely free with free benefit of fitness.
(And can laugh the braniacs that spend an each way hour on their extended backsides commuting 5 km/miles to work in rush hour, and then pay way too much money to spend another hour running on a treadmill / stationery bike in a gym.)

Yeah, I currently cycle to work, about 20 minutes.
We moved about two years ago, before that it was 45 minutes.
20 minutes by bicycle is nice, going to miss that

Maybe after working for a little while can try the bike,
but traffic sucked when I there (over 20 years ago), must be worse now.
brommer?

Just to piss you off, I have a 7 minute stroll to work and come home for lunch. And I'd still prefer to work from home.
In real estate it is location in our line of work it is content, I hope yours is interesting.

Yes - can be had with either dark chocolate and walnuts or milk chocolate and peanuts.
Best whilst fresh and the fingernails are still soft.

Having reluctantly moved from a desktop to a laptop at the office I had to actually unplug the blasted thing yesterday to take it to a meeting.
Upon returning I plug all the bits in, including the big external monitor I use, the squidgy little laptop monitor works, nothing on the external monitor, windows 10 says it is there, the power light comes on but no picture.
While fiddling in the setup a colleague switches the primary display to the external monitor only - fark nothing, both screens blank. Unplug the external screen and it all appears on the laptop, plug in the external, nothing. Ahh crap the monitor is dead and the laptop is pointing to to the external monitor only.
Now it takes up to 3 days for IT services to respond to a call and policy will not let you boot to safe mode, answer filch some other poor bastards monitor and we are good to go.
He gets back from holidays on Monday, I hope I can get a replacement monitor by then - extremely unlikely.
