history: One the way to work last week, my car got a flat tire and I was late to work.  I was supposed to give a presentation that day and someone had to take over for me. One the way to work_comma_ I got a flat tire and I missed a very important presentation.  I was pretty upset.
current: Oh, man!  That is a nightmare!  Was your boss upset with you?
next: No, he understood, but I missed a really good presentation.  I was not happy.
