Reason #6

You are used to having an "entertainment" assistant who makes lunch dates for you, answers your phone, is friendly with all your clients and their assistants, and organizes your magazines.

I am a litigation assistant who has been assigned to you.  I have court deadlines and paperwork out the wazoo on a daily basis.  If I have a lunch date to make for you and a court filing due for another attorney, the court filing is going to take precedence.

And when I tell you that I know setting a lunch date is important to do for you but a court filing is more important, don't keep referencing how "important" everything is in future emails as some sort of subtle dig at me.
