Cojo:

It looks like a queue job might be failing to gain access to the database
during an attempt to process a job. Unless you're seeing a lot of failed
jobs, we can assume that the system is succeeding on retry. To diagnose
further, you need to look at the corresponding ULS log entries on the
server. You may need to change the verbosity settings to catch the culprit.
