I don't pay all that much attention to stats, but this morning I went back just to see how long the software keeps finished jobs and found something I'm unclear on.

I have one job that is still pending, but is 2 days past the deadline date. Will I ever get credit for a job such as this or should I assume that there was some sort of error involved and the job will expire with no credit issued?

I believe you will still receive credit if your result is returned before the result from the third host is returned. If the result from the third host "wins" you will not be credited.

Pending meaning you sent back

Pending meaning you sent back the work, but someone else did not?

I do not see one pending that is that old. If the other user does not return it, it goes out to a 3rd person and they get another couple of weeks to crunch it. This can happen several times, and can literally take months to get credit for one result. It usually does not happen, but there is a chance.
