Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

101 Commonly asked questions during job interviews
Recently a recruiter for a major firm visited several prominent business schools to interview the best candidates. As is common in interviewing today, she asked a number of behavioral questions to asses the candidates potential.
?You are driving in a rental car to a client? s job site in the Arizona desert. The car hits a nail and one of your tires blows out. The rental car company has forgotten to put the spare tire in the car?s trunk and your cell phone is out of range. You are several miles from the nearest public phone and there isn?t a lot of traffic on the highway. What do you do??
Here?s how the candidates responded at various schools.
HARVARD
?I?m so important to my client; he?ll come looking for me.?
CHICAGO
?The present value of a tire and wheel is less than the future value of a client contract. Therefore, drive as many miles as necessary on the flat.?
STANFORD
?I?d drive on the flat tire; however I?d let the air out of the other three tires first so that the car rides better.?
MIT
?I?d remove the tires and install rocket pods.?
MICHIGAN
?This would never happen to me. I only rent Japanese cars that don?t get flat tires.?
COLUMBIA
?The desert and the middle of nowhere without any people? You must be thinking about New Jersey.?
WHARTON
?There are so many Wharton people; it will only be a couple minutes before an alum drives by.?
CORNELL
?You must be mistaken; Arizona is not the middle of nowhere. Ithaca is the middle of nowhere.?
UNC-CHAPEL HILL
?I?d do whatever the NASCAR guys do in a flat tire situation.?
WISCONSIN
?Start drinking. Repeat as often as necessary.?
USC
?The first thing you need to do in this situation is to call a lawyer.?
UT-AUSTIN
?Burn the tires for a smoke signal.?
PENN STATE
?Pop the hood and see if the spare tire is in there.?
She hired the Penn State grad.
I liked the Chicagoan's answer the best.

Just act like you own the place and the job is already yours without being arrogant. The aura of confidence should secure the opportunity.
