In my part of the world a swing shift was a switch in shifts with a
really short break like 8 hours on, 8 hours off, 8 hours back on.

The second shift (4 PM to midnight or thereabouts) was called the
afternoon shift as opposed to the night shift.

The remote fly in mines here ave 12 hour shifts with 14 days in and
14 days out. The other guy in your two week cycle is called your
cross shifter.

I did shift work in a factory for a couple of years in the 70s
before going back to school. The day shift ran from 7:30 to 3:30
although the office staff worked 8 to 4 and I was curious why. It
turns out that during the second world war when women first started
working there, men worked all three shifts but women only worked two
of them and the second shift ended at 11:30 PM not midnight while
the buses and streetcars were still running. After midnight it was
company policy (maybe even a labour law, who knows anymore) to pay
for taxis for females which would have been expensive.  How times
have changed.

BTW not only did I have quite a plumbing bill from the power outage,
the city is facing $1.5 M in water main repair bills.

     Title: Improved Scotch Cocktail
Categories: Alcohol, Beverages
  Servings: 1

    1/8 oz demerara syrup 
    1/8 oz Benedictine
      2 oz moderately smoky Scotch
      2 ds orange bitters
      2 ds Angostura bitters

The basic scotch cocktail is simple: whisky, sugar or honey,
bitters, ice.

To make demerara syrup, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup demerara
sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring
constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cool before using. Demerara
syrup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Combine demerara syrup, Benedictine, Scotch, orange bitters, and
Angostura bitters in a rocks glass. Stir with a large ice cube until
chilled, about 10 seconds. Serve.
