bread shift

The shift in-between the 3rd and 1st shift, that is a real drag. Usually starting at 2 to 4 AM to sometime in the late morning. Not considered the graveyard or morning shift. It is the shift in-between the two that leaves the worker in despair because their sleep cycle is not in sync with other shifts. It is the shift that leaves you in solitude and loneliness. People who work the bread shift are usually anti-social and sad, but have much loyalty to the company. It is called the "Bread Shift" because most bread vendors tend to work these awkward hours.

Jonesy works the bread shift, sometimes people do not even know he worked here. He was a stranger at company meetings who looked like a zombie due to an awkward sleep schedule. The bread shift sucks.

Shit shifting

When you have to take a shit so bad you shift around to a position where it doesn’t feel like shit is going to pool out of you unintentionally

Chris: “I HAVE TO POO SO BAD ITS ABOUT TO COME OUT OF ME RIGHT NOW”

Also Chris: “oh wait. If I shit shift real fast I’m in a better position. I now don’t feel like I’m about to dookie my pants :)”

“Man shit shifting is such a gift”

Paradigm shift

When a person has a significant change in the way they process any given senario psychologically; this process can be driven in a positive light or a rather brutally pessimistic perspective

Anthony has had such a great influence on the team it has caused a paradigm shift in their work ethic, and as a result people are starting to work together.
