    Just as any other job, your working conditions depend mostly on you.
    If it's dirty, clean it. Dark, paint it and put lights up. No
    ventilation, put in a fan. Honestly, as an owner of a retail store
    and a bench jeweler, I don't have time to babysit the other jeweler
    I work with. If something bothers either one of us, we speak up and
    change it. If it can't get changed-- adapt or move on. Jewelry
    making is a dirty job. You can't expect to sit on a hand woven
    oriental rug, with Tiffany lamps and a plush (cushy?) workspace when
    you you spend your day mixing investment, rubber wheeling, filing,
    borax flying all over the place, etc. It's up to you to make your
    work space match your personality. If I didn't have to listen for the
    door bell when customers come, I'd wear an Ipod too.. :-)
