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.

A "Cake Shift" is a restaurant term for an very easy shift. It is typically used to describe a slower shift but is also used to talk about a shift that went so smoothly that you didn't have to think much as you completed the shift.
Tom: How was last night at the restaurant?
Steve: We were so organized and ready for pop, it was a cake shift.

The involuntary or voluntary movement from one area inside an elevator to another due to the increase in available space created by the exiting of another individual. This occurs more often when the exiting individual is a complete stranger, as the shift aids in alleviating the stress induced by the awkward elevator ride.
Example Situation:
You enter an elevator containing one other person situated toward the right wall. You make your way to the back left corner, not wanting to stand too close. On the way up to your floor, the other person exits the elevator, and you move towards the center. You then come to the realization that you have performed an elevator shift.

Second shift is the tedious parts of human existence that you must complete after you have already worked a full day. This includes food shopping, paying bills, laundry, cleaning, etc.
Them: Hey let's go hit the pub after work today.
Me: I really can't - second shift hits after work today....
Them: Second shift?
Me: all the crap you have to day at home after work - second shift is exhausting.
