Very odd occurance this morning in my office:

My boss comes in, asks if I've seen the restored La Dolce Vita at the Music Box. When I say no, she throws $8.75 on my desk; then she tells me to leave work early and catch the 4:45 show.

Nice job perk . . . too bad I'm going to waste the money on crack.

hmm, a member of the opposite sex throws money at you and tells you to go see a movie, now that's an off-kilter way of asking for a date...

okay, I didn't think I would have to qualify it, but my boss is ~30 years older, married, and simply an avid fan of Fellini films.

I'm just joshing you, I would love it if my boss did that for me. (some money for a movie and a wave out the door- woohoo!)

My former boss actually liked decent movies. Then we both got laid off...

Man, I haven't seen La Dolce Vita in a theater in 18+ years. I remember the first time I saw it, and the next day I was walking down the street and the full impact of the film just came to me, and I had to sit on the sidewalk for about 5 minutes before I could go on. A very powerful movie, IMO.
