Whiteboards beat paper lists any day.

Buddy, my version of that was laying out a whole set of cabinet doors off the wrong face frame line and then wondering why every gap was wonky. The shop lead just looked at me, pointed at the mark I'd missed, and walked off without a word. The worst part is you can't even be mad at anyone but yourself, because the info was sitting right there the whole time. Six months on stairs is a long sting though, and the fact that the steps came out dead on after the fix says you can actually cut. Half the battle in this trade is just having somebody tell you the dumb little rule before you burn a whole week on it. How long did it take before you stopped double checking every nosing twice out of pure fear?

Wireless, dude. Cheaper than a new TV when someone eats it on the cord.
