Jobs
Abby is also an editor for The Daisy. She has one of the most important jobs and is the only sixth grader on the staff.
She used to be "band manager's assistant" in her school's band, the Jazz Tones. She had been nicknamed "Curly Red" and had done daring jobs. When choosing between The Daisy and the Jazz Tones, Abby felt it was too pointless to stay, even for Simon, so she quit, much to the displeasure of the band director.
In Have Wheels, Will Travel, Abby takes care of her neighbor Heather's cat, Marshmallow, for a week while Heather was in London.
The only other "job" Abby had was in the summer in Super Special #1- The Best is Yet to Come. She had to babysit Wynter, the daughter of Abby's mom's college roommate Laurie. Laurie took advantage of Abby by making her babysit the difficult Wynter for a week and wasn't willing to pay Abby until Abby's mom found out and kicked her out of the house, giving Abby the money she deserved.

Famous quotes containing the word jobs:
“We have not been fair with the Negro and his education. He has not had adequate or ample education to permit him to qualify for many jobs that are open to him.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The problem is simply this: no one can feel like CEO of his or her life in the presence of the people who toilet trained her and spanked him when he was naughty. We may have become Masters of the Universe, accustomed to giving life and taking it away, casually ordering people into battle or out of their jobs . . . and yet we may still dirty our diapers at the sound of our mommy’s whimper or our daddy’s growl.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“The daily arguments over putting away the toys or practicing the piano defeat us so easily. We see them coming yet they frustrate us time and time again. In many cases, we are mothers and fathers who have managed budgets and unruly bosses and done difficult jobs well through sheer tenacity and dogged preparation. So why are we unable to persuade someone three feet tall to step into six inches of water at bathtime?”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
