Imagine Google Calendar. Add an event that will take 7 days. It starts on today and goes on for 7 days, not skipping weekends or holidays.

I need a calendar that will assume those are WORKING days.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you are contradicting yourself in your question and title. In one, you ask for a "Calendar that skips weekend and holidays" and in the other you say "not skipping weekends or holidays". Which is it? This is confusing and may not even be on-topic for this site. – David Nov 15 '11 at 17:21
It was confusing. The first bit there is what google calendar does, the question is what he wants. – Rob Nov 15 '11 at 17:42

you can do this with Google Calendar by setting a repeat event and restrict by days and number of occurrences:

use settings like this for the repeat:

Calendar settings

And it will skip weekends (since you didn't select them to repeat) you can see by the bold dates that it skipped the weekend

As for skipping holidays, you'll have to pick them manually when you're setting the "repeat on:" days.

The events aren't repeating events. Let's say I have to work on the website for 7 working days. I'd like the task to start today, skip any weekend or holiday and keep going the following week. – majordude Nov 15 '11 at 17:43
Well, that's what it does. Since you didn't check the Saturday or Sunday boxes it pretends they don't exist. It'll begin at your start date and end after X occurrences skipping weekends every time. Or am I just not understanding the requirement? – Rob Nov 16 '11 at 21:00
