Roommate's 'I'll Be Home Soon' Is Code For 'I'm Still At Work And Also Stopping For Tacos'
The tacos have their own schedule. The roommate has adjusted to 'Jake Time.'
Jake McSoon has been 'leaving work' for 4 hours. His roommate Jenna has learned: 'soon' means 'taco stop' (minimum 1 hour), 'traffic' (Netflix break), and 'almost there' (still in the parking lot). 'I've adjusted,' Jenna said. She now orders her own dinner. Jake arrives with 'sorry, traffic' and cold tacos. Jenna has started a 'Jake Time' chart. 'Soon' = 2-5 hours. She's never been wrong.
