Assuming the offsets in the file are in increasing order, it sounds
sort of like a merge between wall clock ticks and the to-do file.
Will something along these lines do what you want?
  start_time : ada.calendar.time := ada.calendar.clock;
  now: duration := 0;  -- duration since start_time
begin
  open the todo file containing records with (offset, job)
  loop
    read next todo record
    if todo.offset > now then
      delay todo.offset-now;
      now := ada.calendar.clock - start_time;
    end if;
    start todo.job
  end loop;
