Oooga Chacka: Swahili for “I love my job.”
I did my semi annual changing of the CDs in my car’s CD changer this morning. I grabbed several discs that were collections from my daughter. At one point, while sitting at a stoplight, a new song began. “Oooga chacka, oooga chacka...”
Do you know how hard it is to not sing along with that? I hate stoplights for just that reason, it’s too easy to get caught singing along with stupid stuff. I get the giggles trying to sit still and not make a fool of myself like I do whenever I hear “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
I also realized that the phrase was going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. When bosses are standing over my desk wondering why I haven’t finished a task and they are completely oblivious to the 5 pages of phone messages I have taken already this morning, I can just start singing in my head, “Ooga chacka, oooga chacka, oooga oooga...” and keep a smile on my face! It’s much more fun that repeating, “I love my job...”
Care to join me? Oooga chacka, oooga chacka...
