Can you say Pyramid Scheme
The challenge: Purchase 13% more inventory during December 2006, than was purchased during December 2005.
The reason: Prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Mary Kay Corporate encourages front loading of inventory by their consultants.

Misleading subject lines
So I wandered over to seen what the Rebbe had written about Graphology.
The only thing about the Rebbe on that page was the headline. It was a schedule of fees for graphological services that that blogger offers.
Anything else I write will be לשון הרע.

Mary Kay Date Codes
Not really worth blogging about, but when your Mary Kay consultant sells you a product with a date code of 4D14 you'd like more than her assurance it was manufactured in 2004.
The date code is four alphanumeric characters long.
- The first alphanumeric character indicates the year;
- The second alphanumeric character indicates the month;
- The final two numbers indicate the day of the month;
Character: Year
0: 1990
1: 1991
2:1992
3:1993
4:1994
5:1995
6:1996
7:1997
8:1998
9:1999
A:2000
B:2001
C:2002
D:2003
F:2004
H:2005
K:2006
M:2007
R:2008
Character : Month
A: January
B: February
C: march
D: April
F: May
H: June
K: July
M: August
R: September
T: October
V: November
X: December
The final two characters are numbers, and are the day of the month.
This code represents when the product was manufactured. It is not an expiration date. Stored under ideal conditions, Mary Kay products have a shelf life of up to ten years.
And yes, that product with the 4 D14 date code was manufactured 14 April 1994, and should be tossed out. And yes, that product was sold in October 2006.
