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.
