Warning: Hit 10,000 parts without a single crash and got complacent

I was running the same job for 8 months straight, same tool paths, same offsets, day in and day out. One day I got too comfortable and didn't double check my Z zero after a tool change, ended up plunging a 1/2 end mill straight into the vice. Has anyone else had a close call after a long clean streak like that?

Man same here, around 2500 parts in and it just started acting up out of nowhere. It's honestly frustrating because everything was going fine until then.
