In the lunch with a big group of people, you won&#8217;t have much chance to talk to the one who is leaving.  You end up talking to whoever happens sitting next to you.  People comes mostly because they can&#8217;t think of a reason not to come.  I see it as a occasion to socialize with other colleagues, especially I have lunch with my own group of friends instead of people from the same project.  The guy who is leaving belongs to my lunch group, so we will have another farewell party with him tomorrow.  This will be a real party and we will have fun, unlike today&#8217;s formalized bussiness lunch.  Today before I went home, I turned the cubicle of this guy, who sits next to me, into a racing track for my Bit Char-G.
