I was assigned to a partner secretary who clearly resents being asked to stoop to assisting a summer associate. She's been at the firm a long time and goes out of her was to impress upon me how busy and important she is, how silly I am to ask her a quick question (am I really supposed to walk in knowing every facet of office procedure and protocol on day one?), and to pointedly say 'no' if I ask her for help with anything.

flame. if you think your secretary as an SA is keeping you from being on top of the project you are deluding yourself

agreed. I think I asked my secretary to do one thing the entire SA summer and that was like to show me how the firm's copier worked.

Even if OP is "doing substantive work" as he proclaims and not just writing memos, you wouldn't be doing anything more than due diligence or doc review which doesn't require a secretary at all.

dunno how to help you. i'm a 5th year and i have never used my secretary other than mailing out stuff once every blue moon. not sure why you need one to help you out so much as a summer. you are basically a secretary yourself. don't be fooled into thinking otherwise -- your 'substantive' contributions are SPS that need to be revised multiple times over anyways.
