Jenn’s Corner #31: Getting Sleep
I feel like I’m in high school again, but without the stamina.
In high school I had activities like gymnastics, cheer and baseball, part-time jobs (yes, plural), a car and the internet at home. That left little time for sleep and I lived my days up and lived my nights up too. After graduating I came to Japan for college and I learned how to sleep. In Hawaii I never went out so sleep came easy. After graduating I had a job that took up 12 hours or so each day but that left 8 hours for sleep.
Now with a Mahjong parlor, a book in the works, a website with the best readers ever (with forums and a store! Yay!), tournaments almost every weekend, the cutest puppy ever invented and Mahjong Fight Club, I’m finding how much I enjoyed sleep and am missing it. Don’t get me wrong. I’m absolutely loving what I’m doing too and I’m slowly getting more organized, but boy what I would give for a full day off. Just one.
Getting organized involves making priorities. For the time being I’ve made my book my very first priority. Every time I have a spare minute I check e-mails from my publisher and get to work on those things. Once I’ve sent everything off I can work on something else. Since editing a book takes a lo-ot of time I’ve been leaving the site content up to Gem. Now I’m through pretty much everything in my book I’m working on the site a lot more.
My next priority is ReachMahjong.com content and MahjongMart items. I’ve finally got everything stocked or ordered and we’re ready for business again. All MahjongMart e-mails are in line right after my publisher and the items are always sent within 2 days of receipt of the order.
Of course ReachMahjong.com content comes next and I try to stay a few days ahead of the game so that if I have to work at the parlor late or squeeze in a few extra games of MFC, the new article will be there waiting for you guys.
Once I’m all caught up with all of that I’ll be posting on the forums at great speed so just wait another week or 2 and you’ll see me on there all the time! You’ll also start to see some of the JPML pro’s slowly starting to join the community from now on. There are a few pro’s that speak English and RM.com has asked them to join our discussions, so get your questions ready!
