That won't work.

One reason it can fail is if there are no omitted days around today
or at any point in the future.  Try this:

echo 'mon SKIP SATISFY [isomitted(trigdate()+1)] MSG Bridging' | remind -dtx -

WARNING: It will produce a lot of output.

The SATISFY clause will search fruitlessly for an omitted Tuesday and will
give up after the SATISFY iteration limit.

You'll have to rewrite the logic as follows:

IFTRIG Mon SKIP
   IF isomitted(trigdate()+1)
       REM [trigdate()] MSG Bridging Day
   ENDIF
ENDIF

IFTRIG Fri SKIP
   IF isomitted(trigdate()-1)
       REM [trigdate()] MSG Bridging Day
   ENDIF
ENDIF
