I added a book to the dropbox called "Drive - The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us".  It's in [Fountain House Training Group]... [Nick]... [Books] 

It's a fantastic book about intrinsic motivation and has a lot to say about the question "what if nobody wants to make lunch".  If you have time I highly recommend it.

Thanks Nick! Looking forward to read it.
 
I just had my first day back in FH Bastad. They had planned a meeting about me again. Yeaaah love to be in the center...- NOT! Almost three hours. What a woman have to do to work at Fountain House...;o)...in Bastad.  Went pretty well though actually. The whole board was there so everyone seemed to behave and really wants this to work....well almost everyone. 
I feel support from most in the community and understanding, but the staff and my assistant director are afraid that they some day will be treated as I have been. But if I put my foot down and do it the way I want to do it, I will never let this happen to anyone else. Now I am the one who have to be strong and support and protect everyone else. The reason that I think I can do this is becaus I met you guys. When I think of you I feel strong and happy. 
 
I am surprised though that even the board members seems to be a little bit afraid or more careful. The whole board supports me without any question and the staff as well it seems (quietly though), but one of the boardmembers even have been treated so badly when I have been gone so he lost his inspiration, I am afraid. This is bad.
 
I´ll keep you posted if you would like.? Since I am sure I am gonna need your support and advice. But I hope you all can keep it in our lovely little group. Thanks you guys!
Luv ya!
/Nina

I'm a jerk. How in hell do I transfer videos and pictures from my i-phone to my computer? I hate I-tunes!

If so there is a decent explanation here.  Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks, Nick!

FYI, I downloaded the book and tried to open it in iTunes but it said: "This book can’t be viewed using this computer. You can view this book using iBooks on your iOS device."

Thanks Summer, that happened because it's an epub file.  Is anyone else wanting to read it and having trouble?  If so, I can convert it to pdf.
