I need to be able to specify the day but have it do the right thing. The 
script might be executed on any day so if teh script gets executed on 
Tuesday and it schedules something on Monday then that event will happen 
on the next Monday but if the script gets called on Monday morning and the 
event is for Monday night then it will execute that night not the next 
week.
