if you're a chick you've probably been approached at one time or another by a mary kay rep hoping to recruit you for the leadership program. the reps most often strike up conversations while shopping. usually the script goes "excuuuuse me, but you just look *soooo* professional and put-together! might i ask what you do for a living?" my coworker amy had a run-in with one of these ladies at costco yesterday, but this one was not so calm and collected. told me the lady was completely incoherent, rambling on about baby boomers, and totally psycho. amy told the lady she wasn't really interested, but gave out her office phone number to get her to go away. this morning she called and amy sent the call to her own voicemail which was a genius move since all the voicemails are forwarded to our email as audio files.
what you're about to hear is almost unbelievable:
file may take a few seconds to download
*voice has been digitally altered*
four-minute voicemail. you probably noticed that she gave out her cell number 3 times. as andy would say, "that woman is bat-shit crazy!"
disclaimer: i realize mary kay is a legitimate business. i know a few girls who have gotten into this and who are very successful. i'm not saying that all reps who recruit total strangers in retail stores are psycho, but face it, this lady is not helping the image.

OH DEAR, this is insane! Do you and Amy just bust out laughing at work whenever you think about this? I majorly enjoyed this funny from you, Anne. I couldn't believe how long this recording is...she goes on FOREVER! Never heard anything like this. Her baby boomer bosses might need to plot an end to this loco! See you tomorrow.
