history: I didn't get a raise at work. I think I really deserved it. I thought I was gonna get a raise at work today but I didn't get it. darn_comma_ Have you been working towards one lately? I have_comma_ I really felt like I deserved it this time around.
current: have you been passed over it before?
next: I have been twice, I'm gonna try one more time and if I get passed up again I'm gonna find a new job.
