Something you might not have thought about:

I friend of mine describes how he safely discharged a monitor, was working
on it, but then closing time came and he went home for the weekend,
leaving it on his bench. Come monday morning, he starts working on it,
only to get a decent ZAP. It turns out that the monitor was facing a
window, where it received sunlight over the weekend - evidently this can
cause a charge to build up on the tube!

So, leave monitors face down, or cover them, when leaving them.
