Problems are keeping up...

I mean is it normal for a transaction to take so long, even if the blocks are clogged or something?
And if so since this transaction is actually a payment from a hot wallet I think am a bit screwed if it
never gets confirmed.
This tx has such a low fee that it is basically treated as tx spam and deserves to never be confirmed. What wallet are you using?

That's a bit harsh to suggest that "no fee" transactions should "never" be confirmed.  Maybe sometime in the future bitcoin will evolve to such a state in which no fee transactions are not confirmed, yet at this point, that seems to be a long way into the future.
