history: I had my hopes up to win a sweet contract I bid on.  They chose someone else for the project.  I really wanted that project. Nothing is going my way today.   Why_comma_ what's wrong? I put a lot of effort into bidding a really nice project.
current: And did it not go over well?
next: They gave it to someone else.  I was counting on winning it.  I don't know where I went wrong.
