It keeps confusing me all the time, too, even though I'm also aware of
the issue. (Unfortunately here and in other bugreports too it seems to
me that Ubuntu gives really low priority to basic usability issues :( )

Title:
  Does not open with "today", can't jump there

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When clicking on the date/time, the dropdown window contains the
  year/month/day I visited there previously. Since altering the month or
  year doesn't change the day, often today's day number is highlighted.
  This, along with today's date being shown at the top, very easily
  leads to the misbelief that the current month's calendar is being
  shown, which is not necessarily the case. It's terribly misleading.

  (In the mean time, I understand that keeping the year/month during
  closure and reopening of the dropdown might be considered a feature
  useful for many people.)

  Furthermore, there's no option to jump to today, I have to manually
  walk to the current year and month.

  My suggestion is a "Today" button, with clearly distinguisable
  disabled state if it's already today's month being shown.
