[GNC] Schedule transaction for 2 Wednesday?

[R Losey]

Not necessarily; at my job, I had meetings on the first Thursday of each
month, and then the following Wednesday, and then the following Tuesday.
We never found any scheduling program that would allow it, but I did work
out a way to do it that did not involve conditions, per se.

The earliest the second Thursday can be is the 8th and the latest is the
14th, so if you want the Friday after the second Thursday, you just want
"day is Friday AND the day number is between 9 and 15".

But I've not found a schedule that can handle that.

Another way to handle that case would be to link it; create a dummy event
on the second Thursday, and then have the Friday event be scheduled in a
linked manner: it is one day after the dummy event. This would have worked
out well for our work meetings above; the first one was always on the first
Thursday; the second was always six days after that; and the third was
always six days after the second meeting. I think implementing this
'linking' or 'relative' solution would be more difficult than the first
option above.
