Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Unless you're performing a morning-long session of brain surgery every day, why the hell should he care if you go to the bathroom?
Must maintain a proper number of techs on the line, you're supposed to be working, nobody else is taking such frequent bathroom breaks, blah blah. I just adore the "Nobody else is" school of management. I'm sorely tempted to say, "Well, everyone else is an appalling little sheeple. I'm better than they are," just to watch his lockstepping little brain seize up. God forbid you think your brains and abilities entitle you to better treatment.

“Not dead yet!”
I was wondering if it was a regional thing.
It's always seemed synonymous with Georgia/Florida poor white although in North and Central Florida, at least, "cracker" denotes native-born, with no negative connotation.

That can happen to my wife sometimes, although it is often over something that Leif does or says. Sometimes he'll just yell something like "Piece of Meat!" at random to see if he can get a laughing attack going.

"Cracker" is also an alternative term for "computer hacker", usually pushed by people who want to rehabilitate the term "hacker", which didn't start out having a negative connotation.

The forms department who are in my aisle and the next two aisles over are letting a lot of temps go today--sad. Part of the announced layoffs from Wednesday.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The cracking thing sets off my cutesy-etymology spidey sense.
Totally.

Oh speaking of Leif. Last night I overhead a conversation between Emaryn and Leif. I quickly realized that Emaryn was quite clinically explaining how sex works to Leif. I told them it was time to brush their teeth, which it actually was. This is what happens when you have a kid that reads, well, everything with words on it.
