I've Been Xeroxed

For those of you who haven't heard yet, I finally got a job! (For those of you who have heard, here is my looooong-promised post about my new job.)

I was originally hired to work for ACS, A Xerox Company, a company that, among other things, provides contract work for government agencies. I was hired to work on the newly-acquired Medi-Cal contract (California's Medicaid program).

Now here's the surprise: I am a web analyst. You guessed it - I sit in my cubicle, hunched over my desk, refreshing websites and occasionally yelling "los links!"

Actually, I usually just write/edit/post articles and documents on the Medi-Cal website. I'm learning all sorts of interesting things about web writing, including JavaScript and CSS (which happens to be my favorite so far). If you would like to see a sample of something that I have created at work, you can view the CDP: EWC tutorial, which I designed and wrote (the script, not the actual content). (FYI, the Web page looks much better if you view it in Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.) It was fun to make! I guess that I should start vamping up our blog a little bit ...

Anyway, I was recently transferred over to Xerox, so if anyone ever asks you what I do, you can tell them that I am a web analyst hired by Xerox to work on the Medi-Cal contract with ACS, A Xerox Company. Is that confusing enough?

Here are some pictures of my work (sorry that I can't take any pictures inside the building):

The building that I work in is behind all those trees.
"The Ponds"
This is where I eat lunch.
It really looks much better in real life.
Ah, finally the building.
Casual Friday.
