In the graduate school department office on a late Friday morning...
Man: (reading) Uh-Oh.
Me: What?
Man: Well the name on your thesis says Catherine A. Allen and your name in he UCLA computer is Catherine Ann Allen.
Me: Yeah?
Man: Well either you need to change the name on your thesis or change your name at the registrars office.
Me: (Aside) Hmmm...if I change my name on the thesis I have to walk all the way back to the lab, re-print, find my committee members, and get them to sign again. My advisor is in Spain at this very moment. (Aloud) Where is the registrars office?
So I am now Catherine A. Allen. I miss the nn.
