Showerthought: a 22 year guy on my crew asked why I still tone out drops by hand
He watched me pull out the old toner on a 12 drop job in Mesa and said his last shop just trusted the label machine, and it made me rethink how much of my routine is just habit. Half those labels were wrong by the time we got to the far end of the building. How many of you still tone every drop even when the paperwork looks clean?

Half those labels were wrong by the time we got to the far end" is the part that gets me, because I read a thread on a telecom forum where a guy ran a test on a few hundred tagged cables and something like one in five didn't match the label. Paperwork is only as good as the last guy who touched it, and that guy may have been in a hurry. Toning takes a few extra minutes and saves you an hour of hunting later.
