history: I took a job fixing a computer for a client who was leaving town. I had less than 24 hours to pull it off and was biting my nails. Waiting for something to come in the mail can send me in to a tizzy. It's even worse when it's parts I need to finish a computer repair job.
current: That's true. Did you finish the job?
next: I did get it done in the end. It was a nail biter since the client was leaving the day after the parts came.
