Maybe it's because the client respects them, while they continue to piss all over the wimps who volunteer to have something for them by 1:00 pm on July 4th.
So, long story short: Shit on the Asshole partner's desk before taking him the fuck out.

I love you today.
There is a jelly-spined type of partner who is worse than the type who will abide unreasonable have this on a holiday Monday requests. It's the type who fucking volunteers to have something at some unreasonable time because he or she thinks that makes him or her look super-responsive and somehow compensates for his or her having failed to pay sufficient attention to the matter for the previous two weeks. Fuck them.
("Do you REALLY think sending an email out at 11:22 PM on Sunday night in response to a 5PM on Friday (or so you say) request is more responsive than sending it out at 9:00 on Monday morning? Okay, fine, that's great. Since it will take me 2 hours to wind down from dealing with you tonight over email & the phone and I won't fall asleep till 2, I probably won't make it into the office till 11. And no, I haven't had a chance to get my firm-issued Blackberry yet. Isn't that a shame? )
