Why do people get jealous when you're moving out the region?

I've not long quit my job as I'm moving down to Weston-super-mare to be near to my family, and have care commitments the start of next week.
I've recieved a call from a collegue (friend), to ask what time I was coming in, and to give some information. Basically, I did get a little offended as she said "Have you just woke up, as some of us have to work".
That really hurt me. At the end of the day, I had been up since 7 and it's not as if I am a dole dosser. I do want to work again, I have been working non-stop at home packing and sorting out paperwork.
At the end of the day, I have left a going nowhere city in Birmingham, a job that will be basically be gone within the next 6-12 months to start a new challenge. She could do the same, her youngest is 18...you can't stay static anymore.
I know it'll be a struggle at first, but I've done this for my own health and well-being. Just because I'm not working, does not mean I am in bed til 12-1 every day. Makes me sick.
Would you say this was jealousy?

You are being way too sensitive. Move on.
Or was the tone of voice peed off?
Maybe I have been a bit OTT...but the tone of voice was somewhere between peed off and chirpy.
Somewhere between peed off and chirpy lies the fabled realm of "she was probably taking the piss".
Yep thats taking the piss alright she feel bad your moving on and they are stuck there. Dont worry about it.
Now see I would expect it from a freind but not from someone I didn't know
Aww dont worry about it. Just enjoy your new job and home.
But if she is a friend she will miss your company, so it would be natural to be a little miffed you moving away.
Do you not think she might just have been having the crack with you? I think you're being a bit precious about it if I'm honest.
Is this really worth starting a thread about, or have I missed something really important.
