Read the latest installment of our series introducing colleagues from various departments of the faculty. Each edition features seven identical questions for one person. This time, we interviewed Soňa Enenkelová, who works as an assistant at the Department of Sociology.
“Since I didn’t grow up with a mobile phone or tablet in hand, I’d say the world of computers and IT in general is the biggest challenge in my work agenda.”
Soňa Enenkelová, assistant at the Department of Sociology
What does your ideal morning look like?
On workdays, I try to find at least a moment to stretch and have a coffee. On weekends, I enjoy sleeping in and don’t mind spending the morning in my bathrobe. :-)
What book(s) have you recently read and would recommend?
Lately, I’ve mainly been listening to audiobooks. I really enjoyed the Sudeten House trilogy by Štěpán Javůrek.
What do you look forward to most in your workday?
Lunch would be the obvious answer :-) But really, it varies depending on what the day holds. I generally enjoy the mornings most—when the faculty is relatively quiet and it’s easier to get work done.
What has surprised you most in the past six months?
That the wallet I forgot at a gas station was returned to me by the honest person who found it with all the cash and IDs still inside.
What is your favorite place at the faculty?
I don’t think I have just one favorite spot. I really like the atrium, I enjoy stopping by Krmítko, and I try to make my office feel cozy so it’s a comfortable place to work…
What advice would you give to your student self?
To be a little less responsible, enjoy student life more, and travel more.
A discussion hosted in the atrium of the Faculty of Social Sciences brought together university ombudsmen to address a range of topics important to both students and employees. The speakers were Eva Janovičová from Masaryk University and Kateřina Šámalová from Charles University. The debate was moderated by student senator Vít Polák.
In just a few days—on Tuesday, April 8th—we’ll be celebrating Faculty Day. And just like last year, we’ve got ready some exciting news. We want to enjoy Faculty Day to the fullest—while keeping our ecological footprint as small as possible. You can help by bringing your own favorite cup or beer mug, bowl, and cutlery. Together, we’ll cut down on single-use waste and do something good for the planet. Please wash your dishes afterward in the kitchenettes you normally use during your workday. You’ll also find a new sustainability-themed stand in the atrium.
