history: Recently I was in talks with my former company about coming back to work for them. The money and hours would be great, so I anticipated it would work out. I recently got an email from my old company hinting that they wanted me back. It was kind of exciting_comma_ I really wanted it to work out. I bet that was a nice feeling
current: It definitely was. The money is great and I get to set my own hours!
next: That sounds perfect
