the same time server to sync against? (can find this in control panel)
By default this is 'time.windows.com'

I you logon to a company network, their logon script is probably setting time off of one of their internal logon servers, via a 'NET TIME /SET' command. Or, if their DHCP (auto-assigned ip address) server is sending a flag to set time on connection.. that could be the issue too.

You are probably seeing drift from the corporate servers, or your administrators are not syncing their servers to a verified NTP server.
