Also, an interesting speculation: from the Gateway to Goddess website, the author speculates that the reason we only see GODDESSES is becauase, per japanese corporate structuring, they are low on the totem-pole office ladies and thus are the ones that are tasked with the relatively unimportant scut work like taking care of our universe. All the male gods are out there doing presumably more important stuff like . . . going out on all-night binges!

Clearly, this *not* the case in the OMB-verse. The various wish lines are more like chores for the celetials - *everyone* has to do them.
(Which, if you think about it, explains a lot.)
Skuld's job as debugger, Belldandy's as programmer, Urd's as sysadmin, Paradox's as tester - these are their their actual *work* jobs in the scheme of things, but they don't come up much. Really, there's a lot of gods, and not that much work. (Well, except for the debuggers, since everyone seems to *make* work for them.)
Most of the time, celestials spend their time watching over mortals, supervising their "sphere of influence", as it were, and generally working on the conflict between Above and Below.
