by why me worry?

The dropdown you see during login is advertised to your laptop via Netbios broadcasts and not something that is fudged into the registry or manually input during the OS build. Your PC can only be a member of one domain at any given time, and for you to be able to access the other domain, the domains on the backend need to have trust relationships set up between them. This is something that the network admins of both sites must do to be able to allow passthrough from one domain to the next.
