I just got a chance to attend an event called "Read Confucius Analects, learn Chinese culture heritage" on Sep 25. The organization is planning to invite more the 3 thousand people to read Confucius Analects with the traditional Chinese cloth for making a World Guinness Record. I feel so excited when I know this event that will host in Vancouver. But I probably need to work on Sep 25. I plan to ask an off on that day. Wish my request can be approved. Anyone here makes a World Guinness Record?

I have participated in the Guinness World Record for the past five years straight for an event I run called the World's Largest Swimming Lesson! It makes me feel very special that I am in the Book of World Records!

@122037 Still waiting for Guinness to certify the attendance for this year's event, which was on June 24th. It's not just my location that runs the event, it takes place all over the world, all at the same time, so it takes them a while to certify. But based on the numbers we submitted, there were 40,298 participants at 641 locations in 24 countries across the world. That's a 13% increase from the record we set last year.

That would be something a bit different. Can you put in extra hours to make up for the time you'd lose?

I don't think i have anything unique to make it even close to the World Guinness Record, but some of my people did. Probably the biggest type of food or something.

If you are going to try making a Guinness record they might as well give you the day off.. maybe you can work another day. Best wishes to you.
