Has he said, another record, incredible world recordice around Russell's
Folk of Records. We've never seen anything like it.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And today, as we open up the book of records,
we are looking for the person in wa with the
most sick.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Days up their sleeve.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Let's start with Ken in Port Kennedy, who says, as
of today, I have six hundred and fifteen hours sickly.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
That's impressive, that's very good.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Norm in warm Boro says, for someone who has had
three sick days in five years at my current job
and five days in twenty five years at my previous job,
I swear kids, these days are made of marshmallows.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh I kick my toe. I need two days off.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And then they complain they have no more sick days
and don't get paid. Norm says, drink a cup of
cement and harden them. Now.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Norm can't afford to get sick now, because when Norm
goes and makes bold statements like that in the workplace,
he cannot. He's going to have to push through any
sickness otherwise they're going to tear him down.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I stand with Norm, well, I do too.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
To an extent.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
The entry we're looking to add to our Book of
records today is the person with the most sick days
up their sleep.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
We all know one.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
We all know one. We all we know those that
don't have it. We all know some that are in
very heavy arears.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Let's go to Karinn in one dewy Hello morning Korean.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Hi, how are y good? What have you got? I
hate having time I hate having time off.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So I have ninety six.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Days up my sleeve. Ninety six days.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's that's over seven hundred hours, is it?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's a lot seven and sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, not that we're counting, all right, at least if
at least, if you need them, you know they're there
for you.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Jo, Yeah, slash seven years.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Okay, okay, right, we're done, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Slight delay on the phone. I think I think we're
talking to you in one day via satellite this morning.
Oh possibly.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Sometimes that's the number to beat. Seven hundred and sixty
eight hours or ninety six days.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, thank you Karin for getting us getting us started.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
There.
Speaker 1 (02:30):

One?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Thousand and three hours, about one hundred and thirty five days.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I think how long you've been at the gig?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Sixteen years?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Fortunately?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Reasonable?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Hell throughout my life? Reasonable? You're right?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yes, yes, let's so.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You're a strong bloke.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Sturdy constitution helps, it helps amount those hours absolutely, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Lee, good one. All right, yeah, stay healthy mate.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
One thousand and three.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Hey, yeah, all right, that's the new record to beat
A thousand and three. We're climbing, but I reckon we
can climb some more.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Sharon in Tapping is about to retire from the Education
Department and has two hundred and ten.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Days sick leave.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Erica in Maylands has two hundred and sixty five.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Not bad, impressive, pretty good, but I think we can
be impressed a little more.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Until now we're moving into quite a few people with
six days in the thousands.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Of hours, which I just can't even get my head around.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Rob in Mount Pleasant, Good morning, morning.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Rob, good morning. How are we good?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
What have you got? How many sick days up your sleeve?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I've got sixty seven weeks, which rounds out to about
two thousand, five hundred and forty something hours.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
And how long have you been in the same job.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I've been with Meyer for thirty nine years.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Oh wow, Wow, like film a bullpit?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, Rob, can I does it get to a stage
where you just go I'm on such a streak, even
if I'm feeling a little bit off this morning, It's like, no,
I'm going in. I'm not breaking this streak. No, not really.
Are you just struck about fifteen years with only three
(04:31):
days off? Yeah, when I was a younger man. Yeah,
but yeah, I'm about to use some of that because
I'm about to go for a knee replacement next week. See,
this is where it comes in handy, isn't it? Doesn't it? Rob?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Will you take your time recovering, Rob, You've earned it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You certainly have good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, good luck with the with the knee operation, mate,
I hope everything goes well.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, all right, that's impressive.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
That was very impressive.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But our winner actually hasretty much double that. Paul from
South Lake retired from the ATO after forty years and
had about five thousand, five hundred hours of sick leave
up his sleeve. He said, when I resigned, it just
(05:17):
vanished into thin air. But it reminds me I have
good health.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
So he's got a good way of looking at it.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, he has got a good way. I would have
thought working in the tax department he would have been
halfway through going now hang on, if I do this,
the numbers out up where you know where he gets
some of the money. Anyway, he didn't. You're a winter Paul,
You're a good man, Paul. Well done.
