Co-worker

One of my co-workers is going to be transferring to another location. He has family in the area where he will be living so I don't blame him for leaving. It can be a nice thing to live near family. Now some of the others will be applying for his current position. If someone from my office gets the job, it will be a promotion for them. They will then have their own office instead of having a cubicle in the main part of the room. I am sure they are all excited of the possibility of being promoted.
