This is a little out of the ordinary as the unindexed part of the record is completely flexible and ...

I am just finishing up a commercial product my company is producing, we are in the homestretch and the pressure to deliver is very great.

I also have work to think about,

And right now we are right in the final stages of hammering out a release,
