Your transaction is now confirmed.

In the future, if you want faster confirmation, pay a higher transaction fee.

Just writing some code
You paid a transaction fee rate of ~50 satoshis/byte. According to https://bitcoinfees.github.io/#30m the current recommended fee rate to confirm within the next block is 180 satoshis/byte.

You have a few options here. You can wait and hope it confirms, wait for the transaction to be "forgotten" by the network, attempt a double spending transaction that pays a higher fee, or ask a miner to confirm it for you.

For the third option, we need to know what wallet software you are using.

For the fourth option, you can contact the users Quickseller and macbook-air.

At 50 satoshi per byte, your fee is a bit low for the current network conditions.  It won't confirm quickly, but it certainly could confirm in the next day or so.

I downloaded electrum wallet but didn't realize that the transaction fee was set to static. Transaction listed below...

Will this eventually get included in a block or is it going to sit in bitcoin purgatory?

If so can a pool pick this up if I contact them manually?

Kind of worried!

You might want to take the output private key and import it into a blockchain.info wallet. Then you can double spend with higher transaction fee.
