I get a Slack message from a coworker on the phone. I read half of it before clicking on the notification. (In retrospect, I should have read whole message before clicking). So I know the topic, just not the full message.. anticipation builds... while I wait for the POS electron based Slack client to connect back to Slack to retrieve the full message and show it to me. Low coverage isn't helping. I take a U turn from the walk with my dog and rush back to my desk. No the Mac doesn't show the message either. Frustrated, I go back to my iPhone notification to see if I can re-read what they wrote. No, Apple decides I don't need the notification after I clicked on it.

Fast forward to rest of the day - Outlook has three version of Mac. The old-but-working version, the "new outlook" - someone rewrote a half-baked client in JS?? (another electron thing?), and there is outlook web version. The only one I can reliably get the search working is the web version. Yes, I know Apple spotlight controls how search is done in Mac. But the stupid client can't even show me the email I just sent out 10 minutes ago. At least for some case, I blame the suckers who upgraded to Monterey [1], but I am still on Big Sur, not even enjoying Monterey, but just all the problems :(

Sigh, before the young one yell "old person yells at the cloud", I need to call it a day and finish that walk with my dog. But wait, I can't close my stupid window because unending notifications popup and it is right where I don't want it [2]
