goodbye... for now

Having a new job in recent times, I've been told that I'll be working from thursdays to Sundays, giving me no room to race on weekends.

For this I'm saying goodbye for all the Sunday races, but not saying goodbye for good.
I left football this year after being champion in U19, promoting the team to the national championship, because the club is suffering from major financial problems, so they were having trouble in paying me.

For that I applied for a government job, which I've been told on friday that I have made it, that's why the change in schedule, so for now, I don't see a light in the end of the tunnel..... for now.

Saying that, I'll leave the F5000 and F1 championship with great sadness, aiming only for a wednesday race, when available.

Of course, I plan to stick around even if there's no place for me in any race, so...

See you soon guys  




I leave you with the video that I made while in football, in the game where we were champions an the celebrations in the last one. I'm filming so don't bother trying to find me  

See you soon





P.S. sorry, all the text is in portuguese, but that's not really important

Excellent video Tiago  Shame I won't be beaten by you for a while, but good luck on your new ventures  

I wish you luck in your new adventure, Hope it makes you happy and hopefully will see you on track every so often on a wednesday.

Again best of luck Tiago  

A race without crazyman is like a hgt race without Capri. It's sad.  

Best of luck Tiago! Maybe I'll run into you on an odd Wednesday (not literally, figuratively)  

Good luck with your new job  

Best of luck:)

Bonne chance, Tiago !

Thank you guys,

The thing is, despite the new job, I can't avoid feeling a bit sad because... I've been here for the past 5 years and now everything is going to be different

What will you be doing for the government? Government job working on a Sunday? I am pretty sure that is against the law in the US

I'm not sure about the law. Firemen, cops, hospital staff don't work the sunday?  

Can't give you guys many details.... It has something to do with youngsters

Firemen, cops and hospital workers are not (federal) governement employees I think, but rather state, county or city employees in most cases. One of the biggest governement agencies in terms of number of employees has to be the postal service, and they sure as hell don't work on Sundays. I'm pretty sure the FBI does though ^^ .

It´s the same job, be careful tho m8 .It´s very easy to be to much involved so to speak.Try to keep your emotions away and be professional. Not easy i know even tho the kids have problems. they are most times good kids/teenagers. I wish u best it´s an important job  

Thanks Anders, I'll do my best  

 

Heck of a job Tiago. Best of luck and I hope it works out for you.

I hope too Mike, my teacher's side is getting the most of me so far, and the kid's been enjoying it, so hopefully it will continue that way  

Teach them for modding. 

good luck m8

I Nearly missed this hope you fair well in your New Job ....

I Am finding it increasingly difficult to find time to race
but its always great to see you at the races so please come back
when you can make it ....  

Hopefully, wednesdays are still a possibility, if the races don't finish too late.

I get up at 5:50 am everyday  

Good luck with your new job and happy to hear you will be anyway always hanging around in the forum  

The main difficulty with such jobs is not getting personally involved with the youngsters, but then again when you succeed with them it's incredibly satisfying. For what I know you, you will sure be a great help and do a fantastic job  

Thank you for your words Alberto, so far it has been great. Those youngsters have created a good and empathetic relationship with me and everything has been running smoothly so far.

Of course my football history and my academic degree helps a lot
