     this doesn't always work.
     from today 8/23 (julian 236) 
       for 10 days:  (10/5)*7= 2*7=14 thus julian 250 (correct)
       for 11 days:  (11/5)*7= 2.2 *7= 15.4 julian 251 (correct)
       for 23 days:  (23/5)*7= 4.6 *7=32.2 julian 268 (wrong - and its a 
     sunday. 23 work days out from today, assuming no holidays, is jul 269)
     
     if you always round up, making the 23 days example correct, then the 
     11 day example is now wrong.  if you round after the first 
     calculation, then you're really off. of course, this is a leap year.

Take the duration, divide it by five and multiply it by seven, then add 
that number of days to the starting date.
