I think the mail server must have burped today. My response to Jason
Bourque's 5th business day question never made it thru (I checked the
archives on the web), and I never received digests 409 or 410. Anyone else
notice any such glitches?
For the record, here's my response to Jason's question:
Jason,
There is always a better way!
But first, your script will fail in January, July, and September, because it
doesn't account for holidays (New Years Day, Independence Day, Labor Day).
Second, it seems a little silly to have as a loop parameter "until
businessDayOfMonth is 5" when inside the loop you test that condition and
then set fifthBusinessDay to true. Better to use fifthBusinessDay as your
loop parameter.
Third, todayDate and currentDate are very confusing. One would easily assume,
as I did, that they are the same value, and they are not. Why not just test
for (nth = day of currentDate)?
