Schadenfreude

While grocery shopping recently I ran into a coworker from my old job. She told me that the principal has been removed. In the middle of the school year. Yes, the one who was unprofessional, inexperienced, overpaid, and generally incompetent. Not only that, the equally inexperienced, overpaid, and incompetent head teacher who was my supervisor has suffered a demotion of sorts.

Boys and girls, the word for today is schadenfreude.

Leave it to the Germans to come up with such a delightfully wicked word.
