so the app at dayjob has an internal scheduler, one of the formats for which handles, like, "on the 12th at 8am" tests for it were failing intermittently, in daily CI job only i'm curious if there are any devs out there whose trauma runs deep enough they already know the story

i'll throw out some more hints while i wait, i suppose the test suite was taking a pretty spotty approach heavily keyed to the present date and time reworking it to be somewhat more deterministic made the tests fail more consistently, but still only in CI

we have several people correct on the general tip of time zones, but we could go much deeper another hint: the increased determinism in the test suite rebuild made it hit every day of the year, but it still used the current time for the "8am" part of the schedule specification
