She was tipped off by her immediate superior. Because it's a Friday heading into a long holiday weekend, Girlawhirl had hoped to take today off. But with a wink and a smile, and a reminder that reviews would be conducted this week, her request for the day off was strategically denied.

Anticipation kept her from being annoyed that she had to come in to the office today, and the tip-off allowed her to dress properly. If she hadn't known, she might have tried to get away with an ‘I'm-just-here-to- show-my-face-but-have-no-intention-of-really-getting-any-work-done' outfit.

And so, today Girlawhirl officially becomes part of the management team. This means she's now a supervisor, with a handful of people reporting to her. Her client list has been shuffled a bit so she'll have to get up to speed on a few new ones and instead of being part of their support team, she's now their point person. But best of all, Girlawhirl gets to leave her cubicle and move into an office. With a door. And a window.

Her first executive decision? Cutting out early to get a jump on the holiday weekend.

Next week she'll tackle the move to her new digs.
