In regards to what happened at the end of 2001: A
TRASHionals Oddity, a bit of an explanation.
Last
week, the award's creator e-mailed me asking me to
allow him to announce the creation of the "Deb Fuller
Awards." I gave him permission, believing that...
a) the awards were meant to be tongue-in-cheek
b) it was only going to be an announcement, a la a
tourney announcement. He would ask players to submit
nominees and would post the "winners" online.
In
previous jobs, I have seen similar announcements about
tongue-in-cheek "awards." Ex. - The person with the messiest
cubicle, the person who spends too much time at the copy
machine - all are in good spirits and with the "winners"
present.
I certainly did not know it would turn
out to be what it was. I certainly did not know it
would result in many people being uncomfortable with
what was said.
