[SalesForce] Time-based Workflow not triggering

I've been working on testing a time based workflow, that fires off an email 1 and 3 hours after a new contact is created. Of course, this is small scale testing, as I would eventually like to transition hours into week(s).

I'm having a problem getting the time based email alerts to send out. The immediate alert sends out just fine. When I go into Monitoring > Time based work flows > and look for my workflow, it shows the workflows just sitting there in the queue. I read into how to create a Debug log but the log never created because the trigger never did anything to generate any kind of errors. My workflows from last week's test, are still sitting in the queue when they should have fired off emails a few days ago.

I set the rule to check when contact is created as well as edited to subsequently meet the criteria. For now, my workflow logic is simple. I just checks for any contacts created in my test account. Nothing too complicated yet.

I also tried creating a brand new field, and used the formula to pull in the date/time the contact was created. Then I told the time based trigger to use that value, and fire an email off 1 hour after.

Still nothing. I've looked this up a lot online as well, but can't seem to find any type of fix.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: I am currently testing another solution, where I used "Formula = true" to trigger the rule, and then I've told the time based work flow to trigger 1 hour after the Rule Trigger Date (which will be triggered immediately upon creating a contact)

Update: Still no luck. Will keep playing around with settings. Immediate workflows always work, but any time based email alert, never fires. Currently trying to do a time based field update instead. I can tie an email to fire off when a field goes from true to false or vice versa. For some reason, can't get the scheduled field update to show up on the time based monitor.

Update: Created another Workflow rule. The trigger is simple. When a xyz field is set to 'True', execute a time based work flow 1 hour after trigger event, which sets the field to false. Just waited an hour to test this workflow, and still nothing. Now it seems like anything relating to time based workflows simply are not working. I may have to do some digging tonight to see if I'm doing something wrong. The trigger event is always set to true. The Time Based Work Flow monitor has a queue full of actions, whose dates and times are hours past, and yet nothing has executed. Yikes!
