I went to go see Dear Evan Hansen with my young teen daughter last weekend. Going in i had no idea what it was about. Holy crap. That movie absolutely kicked my ass and dredged up so many horrible memories of my high school experience. During high school I suffered from social anxiety after being bullied relentlessly through elementary and middle school. I identified very strongly with the Evan Hansen character, especially the loneliness aspect of having no friends and putting…continued…

Ditto here. I was anticipating it as I have heard of the broadway musical (haven’t seen it though) and saw the trailer. Even the trailer made me sob… overall, I thought the movie was pretty well done, and Ben Platt really brought out the emotion/struggle. It’s hard to cramp everything into the movie and at times felt like it moved so fast with little to no character development. But nonetheless, I thought the movie was not that bad, not sure why all the hate…

What really did it for me was the songs. I’ve heard them in the car ad nauseum by my daughter’s request but never really understood the lyrics. Hearing them in context really shook me.

An experience I had buried deep and mostly forgotten until seeing this movie dredged up those old forgotten feelings. I haven’t sobbed like I did in my therapists office this week for quite a while.

Well there was an “upside” to my week long funk after seeing this movie. I went hypomanic last week, which was great, but not sustainable. After a medication switch I’m back to normal again. Thanks Dear Evan Hansen!

S&O had 104 total GSAP recipients this cycle, 16 GPS and 88 commercial (if my counting is correct). How does that compare to previous years?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
