My colleague is leaving in 2 weeks (resigned, not fired), and I really want his desk. It's next to a window, rather than sitting as I currently do with my back to the windows. Also it's further into the corner of the office, meaning there's a bit more room for my (pet) dog to stay out of people's way. It's not bigger, I don't think, it's just in a nicer position.
So I don't think I'm BU to want it... At what point do I ask if I can move? Obviously not before he's left - that'll come across a tad insensitive, but when, the next Monday? A week later? The end of the month? I would need to move the computer, but could do that after work; I tend to stay later than everyone else, so wouldn't cause a drama about moving things.
