Here is an example of one job i just found.

Gay/Guy Friday

I wonder why they call it that, i always though it was some escort thing also.

Every single "Gal/Guy Friday" job posting that I've seen is described as an assistant of some kind to no specific industry or field. Some of them even say "friday work only."

First result from Google search for: "Gal Friday" meaning

http://www.answers.com/topic/gal-friday

Also, gal Friday. An efficient and faithful female assistant, as in I'll have my girl Friday get the papers together. The expression plays on man Friday, a name for a devoted male servant or assistant. The name Friday comes from Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, whose shipwrecked hero named the young native who became his faithful companion for the day of the week when he found him. In the mid-1900s Friday was applied to a male servant and then a women secretary or clerk who works for a man. The expression girl Friday gained currency through a motion picture starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, His Girl Friday (1940). Today it tends to be considered condescending and, applied to a woman, sexist.

Hope I don't get on your nerves for this.
