 ===Gaining her powers===
-Jenny originally worked at a [[SatNav]] factory. Frustrated with her bosses, she had made up her mind to set fire to the factory when it exploded of its own accord. Bizarrely, the accident, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'') which left the building to become deserted, gaining the nickname of “[[the Abandoned, Possibly Haunted SatNav Factory]]”, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lovie Dovie Stuff (short story)|Lovie Dovie Stuff]]'') conferred upon her an “inhuman sense of direction”, her brain now able to instinctively know the location of any given item or person in [[the Multiverse]] — although, at first, she did not realise she could also tap into universes and merely thought she knew where everything in [[925th Universe|her world]] was. Soon after, she was approached by [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]], who asked if she’d like to participate in a study of her powers. After realising her powers were multidimensional in nature, he offered her a job which paid £5000, as the sole employee of the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]].

 ===As sole employee of the M.F.S.===
-As the key employee of the [[Multidimensional Finders Service|M.F.S.]], Jenny's task was to take calls on the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]] for a whole work day, telling callers from across [[the Multiverse]] (and across all walks of life) how to find whatever they wanted found. She was not supposed to refuse any requests, save for demands to know the location of [[Jenny Everywhere]], due to such a question being inherently meaningless.

She was not supposed to refuse any requests, save for demands to know the location of [[Jenny Everywhere]], due to such a question being inherently meaningless.
 One otherwise-typical day saw her, in-between calls, getting a personal visit from [[Doctor Omega (925th Universe)|Doctor Omega]], who dismantled her [[toaster]] to “borrow  its [[thermal reactor]]. Jenny Over-There ordered a replacement toaster at [[Kablamazon]] and was surprised when, near the end of the work-day, it was delivered by [[Jenny Everywhere (925th Universe)|a version of Jenny Everywhere]], who had briefly called her earlier in the day with “Jenny O.” realising who she was talking to. Just before going home, “Jenny O.” decided to leave a call about Jenny Everywhere unanswered even though she was now able to answer it.

 ===New hires===
-One day, Jenny reported to the [[M.F.S. office]] only to find the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]] disconnected and her desk gone. [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|The Man in Grey]] explained that he wanted her help screening new applicants as the [[Great Higher-Up]]s wished for the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]] to hire more people than just her. After harrowingly narrowing down the list of 193 applicants to just four — [[Talbot Molossus]], [[the Hydrant]], [[0000-8888888]], and [[Doctor Know-It-All (925th Universe)|Doctor Know-It-All]] — Jenny was crushed to learn that they were to staff a new M.F.S. office in [[Scotland]], rather than join her in [[Wales]]. However, the Man in Grey then also asked her opinion on the possibility of hiring an intern to help run the Welsh office. She enthusiastically agreed and ended up recommending hapless failed superhero [[Dynamite Thor (Fox universe)|Dynamite Thor]] for the post, feeling sorry for him after he had made multiple bungled attempts to get hired for the new positions throughout the day.

 === Unexpected birthday ===
-One morning, after waking up too early, Jenny realised with a start that she had been working for the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]] for a full year, something to which she initially reacted quite negatively, dreading the prospect of spending her whole life doing this unfulfilling throwaway job.

 At work, she remained fairly gloomy, with even a call from the actual [[John Watson (Dawn 2218)|Doctor Watson]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There (novel)|Annals of the Jen: One Year of Jenny Over-There]]'': ''[[The Birthday Toaster (short story)|The Birthday Toaster]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Dark Dealings (short story)|Dark Dealings]]'') failing to cheer her up. While she was contemplating the [[toaster]] in the break-room — which had been there as long as she had —, she was accosted by [[the Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]], who unexpectedly asked her for advice on how to protest his banishment from the [[Land of Oz (925th Universe)|Land of Oz]] — in the process breaking the news of his romantic entanglement with [[Professor Wogglebug (925th Universe)|Professor Wogglebug]] to a baffled Jenny. After an elated Man in Grey received news that at the Professor's intercession, [[Ozma (925th Universe)|Ozma]] had agreed to set a formal trial date for him, Jenny decided to take advantage of his good mood to ask for the day off, spuriously claiming that it was her actual birthday. He agreed to give it to her, provided she stayed an hour more to complete this shift.
