I'm not sure I want to watch this play out one-strip-a-day in real time. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a few weeks off and come back when there's a small backlog...

Real time is very different from QC time. A few hours in QC may stretch over several weeks our time. So if you want QC time to synchronize with your time, you will have to spend most of your time in hibernation. Alternatively, speed away from Earth at 99% lightspeed (and try to get reliable Internet connection during the trip).
We are wathcing a drama unfolding in extremely slow motion from our point of view. This is not necessarily bad, as it gives time for us to think and discuss possible outcomes. But I agree, it is frustrating at times. However, it would be even more frustrating taking a few weeks off, knowing that something important might have happened in QC.
EDIT: Here is a handy table showing the time dilation effect. At 99% light speed, one day on your spaceship equals 7.09 days on Earth...
Lubricus:
Personally, I am completely unable to leave QC alone for any stretch of time. I feel depressed if I'm unable to access it for some reason.
Wow, sounds like I have a problem... :-o

You are not alone.

The only place I've worked where somebody drank on the job, the drinker was the head of the department...
Seriously Faye, up your tee-shirt? You want to get caught, don't you?
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
Good point there. Smarter move would've been to calmly stuff it back in the purse. Not that there was time for that.
