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.
