She's leaving her job

I know that an acquaintance (not a friend) of mine is going to be leaving the country next year and (obviously) her current job as well. We work in the same place and I would love to take over her tasks as I have very few hours myself right now. Is it appropriate to say to my boss "I know that x is leaving and I would really love to get involved more, is it possible that I could take over her hours?"

I'm not sure if she officially told him yet- so it makes me nervous to say something first -

and I feel awkward asking her about it - is that just in my head or is it reasonable?

I know that if I don't be active about it the job will probably go pretty fast.

I don't see why you can't ask her if she has informed the boss yet. You can strike up a friendly conversation and ask in passing if she's told her boss, coworkers, etc. If she says yes, then you can go ask the boss. If she says no, you can ask about taking over for her when she leaves. If you feel uncomfortable, just keep in mind that you probably will never see or hear from her again - especially if she will be in a different country and is not even your friend.

Good luck!

You could also mention to your boss in general that if something opens up you'd be interested in more hours.

That. This is a great ideas as your boss would know that you are open to do more work and he may have a better idea.
