Paragon shift

A state of extreme perception, reflexes and dexterity. When one triggers or experiences a paragon shift, he or she knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. He or she reaches the pinnacle of awesomeness and is, essentially, becomes awesome in every way. Anyone can trigger or experience the paragon shift in any situation. From a Navy SEAL who took out 5 commies with only his bare hands, to that guy sitting on his couch who just went 42-0 with only his XM8 Prototype in Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Matthew: Dude you literally juked their whole team and scored a touchdown.
John: What can I say, I had a paragon shift.

Indeed the loneliest and scariest of shifts. No live human should work a Grave-shift, however sometimes duty calls. Just don't quit on your break.

And I aint made shit

Passst the skyyyy-yyyyy

ctrl-shift-esc

Ctrl+Shift+Esc is an alternative key command to Ctrl+Alt+Del, for systems with Windows Vista or higher/newer installed. It may also be available in older versions of Windows, depending on system configurations (i.e. multiple user accounts are registered to the system/computer). Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del will typically bring up the Windows Security screen. From there the Task Manager is accessible, among other options (log off, change password, shut down, etc.). In contrast, pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc will launch the Task Manager directly, skipping the step of navigating the Windows Security screen. Both are equally effective. It is up to the individual user to determine which is most convenient.

In campus library:

Student: "WTF! My laptop froze AGAIN!! I'm never gonna get this assignment done..." -reaches to hold power button down-

Student's friend: "Whoa, wait a sec! Try hitting control, shift, escape. It might be not be Office that's crashing. Save yourself some hassle."

Person across table: -looks over at the two, confused- "Don't you mean control, alt, delete?"

Student's friend: "Same idea, but this is a little quicker."

Person across table: "Oh. I hadn't heard of that. Never mind, then." -shrugs and returns to reading-

Student's friend: -presses ctrl-shift-esc, then navigates Task Manager to look for unresponsive program(s) to close- "See, it was the media player you had going. You would've lost a whole page if you just shut it off like that."

Student: "That's awesome! Thank you!"

Graveyard Shift

The worst shift to work; one must work through the night while tired and bored as fuck.

John: You comin' to the party tomorrow night?
Mike: Nah, I got the graveyard shift.
John: Ouch, sorry man.
