dates are always a pain, right? I lean toward normalizing the dates and looking at them more at presentation - relative date formats are all the rage because it excuses timezone and other issues but you always have to have a static way to store them - use seconds from epoch, or modern timezones or whatever is most consistent for your needs but you gotta stick to that.
In your case, sounds like you just want to set the "time" to always be 5:pm or midnight or something, and just ignore that during presentation and input. Anyway, moving to a new box and timezone or changes like that are always tough, I feel for ya! At least you've caught it now eh? good luck, and sorry dates still suck and stuff.
