Perhaps the most annoying type of partner call of alltime. I usually respond with a direct-to-VM reply, saying something along the lines of "got your message . . . . what's the issue?" Rare is the partner who sees the red VM light and says "why didn't I hear it ring"

These calls suck. One of the many perks of being a client now is that when some self-important asscheese partner leaves me a message like that I normally respond with an e-mail along the lines of "Got your voicemail. I am a bit tied up right now and would appreciate it if you could respond to this e-mail with the details so that I can noodle it while I take care of these other matters and then I can get back to you on it" you fucking weinie. With many of these partners you have to get in early and establish that you will not tolerate em treating you like one of em's associates. I spent a very brief time at a firm between GC gigs and I never quite got accustomed to being treated that way and the self importance of some partners still boggles my mind. Fuckers.
