One of my Internet students works in a quarry--that is pretty neat!

Here's an excerpt from his bio...

I live in the UK in a place called Greenhithe which is a village on the outskirts of London. I have been working in the IT side of things for over 10 years now.

My current role is as a Systems Support Technician for one of the main retailers in the UK called John Lewis. John Lewis is a Partnership which means that the people who work for the business (referred to as Partners) are co owners and share some of the profit in the form of a bonus each year (in effect the shareholders are the people who work in the business).

We are part of the largest shopping Centre in Europe, which is built in a giant quarry.

Although I only live 5 mins away from where I work I don't hear it at all because the quarry walls do a great job at keeping the sound in
