We have a list view that lets you specify a date range, but the calendar

Ah. So you adhere to the month fixation.

Why are calendar makers so obsessed with months? A month is just a
half-assed aggregation of weeks. Weeks are how people work.

Not so. In the UK, many people are now paid on a four week rotation.
Less money each time but you do get 13 pay-slips a year!!

While I may pay bills on a monthly basis, I have always been paid either

weekly or bi-weekly. Never once a month.

Harry's Law: "When you can't figure out something, take a look at the
money" (Dr. Harry Dimond, research chemist)

People get paid once or twice a month, and they pay their accounts
once a month.

Even more, I want to see time revolving around now, because now is all
I have. Then you can let me change the now. Weeks are acceptable I
suppose, but this month fixation is silly.
