making your schedule "slightly-off" is not what would happen with this bug..
try "totally random".. would that be useful?

anyway, you don't need root access to change your timezone for the current
shell!!  Just do

% setenv TZ PST8PDT
(csh or tcsh)
$ TZ=PST8PDT
$ export TZ
(sh)

This will change the value for this shell.  Run pilotmanager now and it will
see this value of TZ.  You do need root access to change TZ system-wide, in
the /etc/default/init file.
