Reason #27

You sent me an email saying "Go to this website BLAH BLAH BLAH and get this person's contact info.  His email address is BLAH BLAH BLAH.  In the notes please write BLAH BLAH BLAH."

In the time it took you to compose and send that email, you could've just done this yourself.

I'm not trying to shirk my assistant responsibilities but I'm not a big fan of doing stuff that you could've easily done yourself.  I'm not here to hold your hand and wipe your nose.  I'm here to do things you don't have time to do or to do the non-billable work such as copying exhibits, preparing document shells, filing stuff with the court, etc.  And you CLEARLY had time to do this because you spent the time to compose and send an email wherein you included almost all the information anyway.

And for the record, no other attorneys have had me routinely update their contacts.  But that's because you're special, isn't it?

If this job drives me to drink, I'm so billing them for rehab costs.
