Last Call by Neiman Marcus is having its “Wow” sale, offering an extra 20-40% off the entire store and site. I'm eyeing these Design History knit tanks, covered in sequins — there's a number in neutral colors, like the “dolphin gray” (pictured) or goldish “dune,” but there are also some color-saturated looks like this island green or this red one. I can see all of them being great with anything from skinny jeans to a fancier pant or skirt, perhaps with a velvet blazer on top… It was $80, then marked to $49, but with the extra 40% off it comes down to $29.40.

Hi all,
I start my new job tomorrow (whoooo!) I totally messed up on one aspect- I don’t have my social security card or birth certificate in this state for my i-9 documentation. Itll be here by the end of the week, but can anyone tell me how bad this is for impressions and ability to work? I have a scanned copy, will that get me through the first few days? i cant believe i messed this up! is there any chance an old w-2 will work? its not on the list
You’ll likely need to confirm your ability to work legally within the first 3 days, so you might want to have some one overnight them to you.
Do you have your passport? If you do, that’s all you need. Otherwise, yea, I’d have someone overnight them.
Hi, kinda late for the weekend comments, but are there any Chicagoans who post here regularly?
I every time emailed this weblog post page to all my associates, for the reason that if like to read it next my contacts will too.
I think the admin of this web page is really working hard in
support of his site, since here every material is quality
based data.
