Woke up this morning to my work calendar app** with an "updated" UI.

A few months ago, they reverted a change that had made event names totally unreadable on mobile. Apparently, people complained that event names still weren't readable, so instead of implementing different view options (monthly, weekly, etc), it appears that their UX/UI team hit the crack pipe and decided to axe the month view altogether for mobile users.

No thanks, I don't want to "scroll in any direction across the calendar to view [my] events", I want to see what I have coming up later this week and for the next few weeks at a glance.

**I scrubbed the logo because this is (presumably) a small company with a specialized product for the industry I'm in. I scrolled back to December for the screenshot so as to not doxx myself with events from my work schedule.

Edit: The excellent help desk person passed along my complaint and sent word that they put in a toggle to allow for the full, 7-week calendar view. They got it fixed within a day!

My cat disappeared Thanksgiving 2022.

We searched for months, putting fliers all over town, enlisting the local rescue organization to help us set out cameras, and so forth. Went through so many false alarms over the following months, but no luck finding him.

After his siblings died last year, my housemate and I adopted another cat, and unfortunately, she passed away at their new house a few days ago.

My friend and former housemate had been considering adopting a second cat anyway, so he hopped on Facebook to check out the local rescue org's page.

A few posts down, he found my boy had been boarded at a local vet's office after the elderly couple who had been taking care of him for the past year was no longer able.

This vet normally gives cats a week, but since my boy is so sweet, they gave him three. I picked him up yesterday, on the last day of the last week.

Reunited after two years, and I'm still in shock.
