A very frustrated zing mutters under his breath

Couple of years back i was fitting a stm4 card "2.4 gig" in a working mux. I was in a rush so did not use my anti static cord and strap. The outcome was a fried 2.4 gig card and a mux that shut down.

Cost of this stupidity. Very large due to new card,reprograme of mux, Compensation to a large business customer.

So for those of you who have had all these years of experience and know better than everyone else i hope you remember this story when you finally and you will blow something because you did not do the right thing.
