history: Earlier this week when I got my yearly review I found out I got a raise and will hopefully at some point be able to take over the helpdesk. I was so happy!  I have been working so hard for this company since I started so this is a great sign in my opinion!   Did you get a promotion?
current: Not yet but I did get a raise!  If the company takes over I will get to be in charge of the helpdesk though!
next: Wow, great job!
