It isn't "too much", but it is, in fact, information:
I occasionally look for jobs. Not very often, being lazy. Having a job, I've noticed, really cuts into my sitting around time. But, yeah, I occasionally go out and look for them, saying to myself "I'm being a productive member of society!" or some such shit.
The last time I looked for a job was early December. I guess I was bored or something, but I filled out the stupid application and even met the person for an interview. I totally showered for it and everything because I actually kind of wanted to work there. I suspected the place and people would give me lots of emotions and material.
It was a pretty standard interview, except for the last question, which was "What's your spirit animal?" That was a new one. I've been to many different job interviews in my 87 years on Earth, but never have I heard that.
"Snoopy," I answered without hesitation. I mean, what else could it be?
It made the guy laugh. I always make the guy laugh. It's one of my powers and the reason no one who wears a tie takes me seriously, thank god.
But he thought Snoopy was a funny answer, even though I was dead serious. He thanked me genuinely for coming in and then hired someone else.
His loss. I would've worked for minimum and changed all the names to protect the guilty :)
