Durant dix ans il travailla dans l’immobilier allant de fiascos en échecs avec un enthousiasme constant. Puis, pendant deux ans, il devint responsable d’une agence d’experts en plomb, responsable d’une assistante plus diplômée que lui et responsable de chasseurs de termites, mais les insectes achevèrent de ronger sa responsabilité. Il fut aussi ouvreur de robinets dans un hôpital, factotum dans une maison d’édition de livres scolaires – un comble – et cueilleur de fleu
