Noodle you need to man up and tell them to change your commute, the office lifestyle, and the work type. You're acting like a mist.

The main complaint I always had was it was just me working on the codebase, something EMC had 12 people working on - this will never get fixed, they won't hire anyone

Yeah, but like I said, if it is something you just can't change then whatever, eyes forward. But solving problems is ultimately what we do. You're of little value, to the team or the company, if you aren't at least willing to give it a shot.
I meant he figurative "you", not you. Your situation sounds like you got put in a shit spot.

It's been a long day of BS at work
I was sold this job as me and at least another guy doing it - as soon as I was hired he did other stuff. If I actually enjoyed working there maybe I'd talk to my boss about moving around, but I don't. I shouldn't have left my first job.

Ive only ever left one job (at least in what I'd consider my professional career) because I flat out didn't like it. The rest of the time I had ulterior motives such as big pay increases or to move to a new area.
I've also spent there bulk of my career in some form of government, so the ability to affect any kind of meaningful change is usually slim.

If it plays into your future goals - I.e. you see the added responsibility leading to a future position with better job satisfaction and/or pay and benefits. I wouldn't do it without some sort of short term strategy though, unless you think it will make you happier. Happiness really factors in for me a lot more than it used to at this point in my career.

Defense contractor, which means a solid 2hrs a work a day while the goverment is billed $170 by his company. He's also retroactively responsible for everything that has plagued the zumwalt destroyer. Have fun getting ass raped by McCain noodle.

Job's have a tendency to increase in scope and function the longer you are with a company. I was hired as a network/server administrator and now i spend my days trying to keep a 20 year old 700mhz radio system up and 15 year old SCADA equipment working. Did I know anything about this stuff ? NOPE. To this day I do not know how Radios work. I assume magnets. It just drifted to my line of work. If someone formally asked me to take this responsibility over I would be fucking 100% sure to get a raise out of it. However, I had to wait until evaluation to get my extra pennies. Companies do not give a flying fuck about you, never do them a "solid". Your work demands compensation.

Well I don't know if that's what I'll be working on, although chances are fairly high since that's their big project.
