Chapter 9

In an attempt to make adult conversation, I asked, “So, Sherie says you do techie computer stuff. And I know from work that you installed a software system. What all does that mean?”

Xavier set his knife and fork aside and responded, “I do a bit of everything, I guess. It’s a bit highbrow to explain the details, and no, I don’t mean because you’re too dumb to understand.”

I raised my eyebrows at him. Snotty, but I let it go.

“There’s just a lot of jargon and technical stuff. Basically, I design software tailored for certain industry needs. Your company, for example needed integrated software for their cashiering system. Larry and I worked out the details, and I made it work.”

Of course, I didn’t really understand all that, but I nodded like I did. “Okay, sounds like it keeps you busy.” I had finished my food and now indulged in a huge slice of apple pie. Sherie still worked on her food, mainly because she and Tonya talked more than they ate.
