I'm going to try to this delicately

I've always been somewhat puzzled by the foreign doctors doing psych. And I don't mean that in a xenophobe way, but a lot of our mental health issues are cultural. Not to mention a degree of language barrier. I've been listening to accents for a while but every now and then I struggle to understand them. I can't imagine Mr. Middle O. America getting through a psych session, which is all about talking through one's problems, with someone that they couldn't understand and that they weren't sure could understand them.
And I'd love to have a psych account for about 4 hours every day. I don't mean this as an insult, but I consider psych almost an auto-pilot type of typing. 95% of your typing is going to be plain everyday English. You'll get some meds in there and some psychological evaluation titles, but other than that you can just blow through it. And they're almost always loooooong reports, which in psych pretty much means you can turn the speed up, put the pedal down, and not even need to come up for air until 20 dictation minutes later.
Again, I didn't mean that as offensive as it may have sounded. It's an opinion, and frankly I'm jealous/envious of anybody that can get easy work/easy lines like that for at least a large part of every day.

Can I manage this delicately?
I am an hourly QA at a company and because I am a high producer with a lot of bang for the buck I am given very little leeway for time off. I generally don't pay attention to what other people do and mind my own business. The problem is that a couple of my coworkers will send me IMs saying they are taking breaks, aren't feeling well and are leaving for an hour or two, their internet service is about to go out because of weather, pretend to lose internet connection if a stat comes in from an account they don't like, and on and on (yet they remain on private IMs). They do not notify our supervisor and I am left holding the bag. Our supervisor has no idea this is going on. Is there any possible way that I can do something about this other than finding another job? I am not a snoop and don't throw people under the bus, but this is so unfair.
