Jury Duty....sigh...my brain is dead!

[d2vasquez]

I just got done with being on jury duty for a month (off and on due to budget cuts, court holidays and whatever other reason they could find to not have a court session) as an alternate no less and my brain is just dead now! I understand all the whys we should do it and am blessed to have a company that allows me time off - but man I think someone sucked all the mojo and any creativity out of me and I am dying here!

I am soooooooo exaggerating here but not by much of a sample of one of my days on jury duty:

"Sir would you say this is a number 2 pencil that I am holding?"
"Yes."
"Are you certain this is a number 2 pencil?"
"Yes."
"If I turned it to the left, would you still say this is a number 2 pencil?"
"Yes."
"How about if you saw it in a catalog, would you still say it is a number 2 pencil?"
"Yes."
"What is your expertise or background that you have that leads you to know for certain this is a number 2 pencil?"

Witness answers for the next hour on why he/she is an expert and still the attorney asks.....

"If Sally took the train going North at 9:00 am and Bob took the bus going West at 10:00 am and Mary decided she would stay home because she had a headache, would you still say this is a number 2 pencil?"

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Anyone else experience this too?
