I am spiritually flabby.

I wallowed in schadenfreude at work today.


Schadenfreude
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schadenfreude (help·info) is a German word meaning "pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune." It is sometimes used as a loanword in English and other languages. It derives from Schaden (damage, harm) and Freude (joy); Schaden derives from the Middle High German schade, from the Old High German scado, and freude comes from the Middle High German vreude, from the Old High German frewida, from frō, (happy). In German, the word always carries a negative connotation. A distinction exists between "secret schadenfreude" (a private feeling) and "open schadenfreude" (Hohn).


I did not atone.
