There is actually a timer that will remove the notification from the history after 10 minutes when the computer is not idle (ie. when you are present at the computer). So having a notification stick around for 2 days would happen only if you haven't touched the mouse and/or any other input device for two days .)

So this just stores a Date() object and displays it as hours.
