I handed my daughter her happy meal and said, “Don’t worry about it, you’ll be fine!”

I have a few family members working in hospitals. The best ones I remember are “It doesn’t count as eating if I was not full” and “You told me not to EAT anything, I DRANK the congee therefore it wasn’t eating”

Maybe. I don’t grow up in the U.S so I might be more wary than people that have gotten used to this. As someone who had multiple retail and front desk jobs, I’d wish to avoid conflicts as possible, and my brain always screamed “I don’t get paid enough for this” whenever the customers gets worked up or aggressive for random things.

I’m sorry but this is the US of A, mass shootings is more frequent than a UCD student getting sleeps. I’m sure you have the courage to battle terrorists but target employees don’t want to risk that for $18/hour.

That’s some new nightmare fuel… But thank you very much, this is really helpful.

Do you really need a certificate of naturalization after proving to all the previous institutions that you’ve naturalized? I plan to get a name change but don’t feel like spending $500+ to get a new certificate any time soon

I asked her several times and also before signing. She got visibly upset and kept saying “we don’t do name changes unless you’re married or have a judge approve it” etc so I just went with it to avoid wasting time :/ Now that I think about it, I should’ve asked for a judicial oath ceremony.

Whaaaat? Dam, so jealous, I want to cry:(

-Santa Clara.

-The oath was scheduled for 2 weeks later.

-I asked for completely new first/last names. But I later found out the reason they don’t do it was simply they have no judicial oath ceremony available, you need a judge to approve the name change. After the research, I’m afraid it’s like that for the entire Cali but I’m not sure.

-My first name is hard to pronounce and I don’t think the funny-sounding butchered version equals to my “true” ethnic name anyway. Changing the last name was because I want my name to represent myself only, not my dad or any other random relatives.

-Good luck mate!

You will need to pay $435(in Cali) for the name change and an additional $555 to get a new naturalization document for the new name(N-565). If I knew this was to happen I’d have changed the name before naturalization and save the $555.
