Monday Morning Moans
2009 September 14
Stayed up too late watching the VMA’s on MTV- a bit grumpy this Monday.
Heck, I’m usually a little cranky every Monday AM, but usually such a positive person, so don’t you judge! 
I won’t go into the whole Kanye rudeness thing at the VMA’s, but it did shed a light this morning on my gripes of behavior in people in general. So here I am, with my Monday Morning Moans:
- If you can’t be happy for someone’s success, keep your mouth shut. Don’t jump up on the stage in the middle of their speech, get nutty at their wedding reception, or interrupt their presentation at work! Hey, if you get a new attitude, they just might be happy for you!
- If someone has a great idea and you want to somehow make it your own, give the originator some credit! Twice in the last 8 hours, my Tweets that go to Facebook, have been “stolen” by a Facebook friend, as if they had that thought on their own. NOT re-tweeting, especially a friend, is just just RUDE.
- If you are looking for candidates to fill a position, actually fill the position! I have had a post for this blog sitting in draft form for a few weeks, but will wait until after I get hired before I feel I can post it. (hee hee) In a nutshell, nowadays, the Interview is the new FREE consulting session. (as “Pink is the new Black”)
- If you are an expert, then you are NOT an expert! I think this one is starting to annoy a LOT of real marketers, as I know this thought is not original, but lately, extremely annoying. The minute you think you know everything, is the minute you are irrelevant! (that goes for marketers, doctors, musical artists, actors, and even Moms!)
I think I’ve moaned enough. I’m usually such a positive person so please don’t judge me on Mondays. Getting some more coffee. Thanks!
While this topic can be very frustrating for most people, my belief is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do value that you’ve added pertinent and intelligent thoughts here though. Very much thanks to you!
