I suspect you're trying to instantiate your class in a static 
context, which causes it to be constructed at compile time. For 
example:

====
class A
{
   this() {
     // Do sth. with datetime
   }
}

class B
{
   // This will construct A at compile time. This also
   // means a single A instance is shared between all
   // B instances. This is different from most langs!
   A a = new A;
}

// This will also construct at compile time.
A moduleScopedA = new A;
====

The solution is to new A in your class or module constructor.
