Brand spankin' new embarrassment

This one is quick and terribly fresh. 

A new person started in the marketing department today and, as usual, he started his computer training this afternoon. While I oversee the training, I'm not doing most of it, now that my two "trainers in training" are taking over piece by piece.

I met the trainee before the class started. He looked like Paul Rubens and when he shook my hand he made eye contact and held my hand far too long. I don't consider myself overly sensitive, but this really creeped me out. 

So, before he came in for class, I shut the door and whispered to both newbie IT people that I had just met the new guy and he seemed to me to be a little creepy.

To which the boy newbie (who is creepy in his own right) said, "He's my best friend, you know".

Well, of course he is.
