Don't forget the sugar please!
What a roller coaster of a week I had last week!
I remember when I was little, GG used to say,"KK you get more fly’s with sugar than vinegar baby.” So with that said I struggled to keep my sweet disposition through it all. Here's what happened.
Run in's with other Social Media Consultants in my network. One in particular who continually messages me at least three times a week for help in getting numbers to her events & clients pages up; so today before she could start I asked her for help, with a last minute project and she logged off!
Next up on the Frustration Network, newbies on the scene who want to connect and collaborate to benefit from my social media “Klout”; yet when it comes time to actually work on the project, they were not able to sync their schedule to mine(code for I want the glory but I ain't gonna do much work). You guessed it I was left to "CMB" and fulfill our commitment on my own!!
Showing at 4 p.m. Friday on the Frustration Network, we have recruiters calling with your dream job offer and complementing salary in the city that you have just vacated! With a special segment on “We love you,we're in your new city but we refuse to pay you a decent wage!”
Yep that's right I had 2 lemon drop shots at “Happy Hour” and told the bartender don’t forget the sugar on the rim please!
Cheers! And here’s to next week….

Even a Diva on the Rise sometimes feels "Awkward"!
As I move forward with growing my Social Mobile Media Marketing Agency, I sometimes come across situations where I feel a little "awkward". Like a few weeks ago I had a male client who kept calling me either after business hours. Now that wouldn't have been a problem had there been some pressing issue that required an immediate social press release or if I needed to fix an issue with his text messaging campaign, however my client just wanted to ask me if I received his e-mail earlier telling me that he was happy with the job that I was doing. While I was pleased as punch I really wish he could have waited to give me the news the next day during business hours! But nooo he had to tell me at 10:45 at night; just as I am getting ready to watch Tisha Campbell help her partner solve the crime in Lifetime's new drama the Protector , Oh and did I mention that he lingered on the phone making small talk about how his significant other was jealous that he was working with me!?! My inner Diva KK, was screaming "She has nothing to worry about here buddy. Can you just say good night and get off my phone, already! Ughh soo "awkward"!!
Now here's the thing until my new friend introduced me to a web program called "The Mis- Adventures of the Awkward Black Girl" ,I thought I was the only one who had to deal with these types of issues. Well guess what I'm not!! Innovative writer and producer Issa Rae has a hit web series on her hands, ladies!
Now the next time I feel "awkward" I'm going to take a deep breath, count to five and then check out the latest episode of "Awkward Black Girl"!
