I ticked the wrong box - I just converted EUR to USD and it's a lot more than I thought

What happended to the almighty dollar? LOL
My contract it says that I have a 40 hour week but I usually work more (I am a Management Assistant/ Corporate Event Coordinator for a Dutch Investment Bank). They also pay my health insurance plus a private pension plan and I get 30 days of paid vacation a year (Germany is awwwwwesome lol) which is my personal highlight!
Oh, and I get a bonus as well. Usually 3 months pay.

The other day I was mentioning how much work I have atm and how stressed I am because it's that time of the year at school. I'm a dept. head and advise 3 clubs/groups, one of which is a charity that supplies food and toys to our community, so the work is heavy at holiday time. My SO said "why don't you take your spa holiday?" WHAT? Apparently in Germany teachers (and maybe all workers?) can get some time to rest and recuperate at a spa-like facility when they are burnt out. Paid. By their health insurance and their company.
Wow.
