inI dropped $600 on a project management app to organize my freelance work and a paper notebook from Walgreens does the same job
$600?? For that price it better make coffee too.

inI swore I'd never carry a second laptop, then my only machine died in Medellin on a Tuesday
Would you believe I just pack a $200 Chromebook as my emergency backup?

inI finally bought the $180 cable toner and it paid for itself on one Jonesboro job
A toner finds and traces pairs but it won't tell you if a pair is crossed, that's what the probe and your ears are for when you hear the tone jump where it shouldn't. The crossed pair you caught was probably you noticing the tone was on the wrong pin, not the tool flagging it for you. Still a solid buy at $180 if it saves you one bad run.

inA mechanic in El Paso said my follow up read like I was already mad at them, so I rewrote it
My barber in Tucson told me the same thing last month. I sent a text asking if he could fix a spot he missed and he said it read like I was blaming him. I was just trying to be clear, not mean. Then I rewrote it with "hey man, no big deal" at the start and he got me in same day. Crazy how one or two words change the whole feel of a message. Now I always read my texts out loud before sending.
