Nope, only four. The second E gets dropped.
Maybe by you, but not by most authorities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory. And it is a subject I studied in my MSIE work.

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/queue

verb (used with or without object), queued, queu·ing.

https://www.collinsdictionary....ionary/english/queue

Word forms: queues, queuing, queued
LANGUAGE NOTE:
Queueing can also be used as the continuous form.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/queue

queued; queuing or queueing

Looks like both are correct but queueing is less common outside the math/CS topic, which is usually referred to in the literature as "queueing theory" rather than "queuing theory."

I work in Tech and use the words queue, queued, and queueing almost every day, if not every day — spelled that way.

I have never used the term other than in its relation to queueing theory. I don't care what other people do, since the folks I associate with use the spelling I learned.
