Word Meaning 我が身

明日は我が身。

Tomorrow it might be me.

今日ね、常務がパソコン持って来たの。もうねぇ、びっくりして「どうなされたんですか？」って聞いたら「パソコンが動かなくなったから電話したんだけど、田中くんが４階まで持って来いって言うから、持ってきたよ」って。みんな顔面蒼白状態。まぁ、言うまでもなくその後、田中、部長にこっぴどく叱られてたけどね。仕方ないよね。けど、次は我が身。気を付けようって思った。

Today, the managing director came in carrying a computer. Well, I was surprised and asked, "Can I help you with anything?", and he said, "My computer stopped working, so I called, but Tanaka told me to bring it up to the 4th floor, so here I am." Everyone turned pale. Well, needless to say, our boss gave Tanaka a real going-over. It couldn't be helped. It could've been any one of us though, so I thought, "I better be careful."
