Is it too much to ask?

Don't get me wrong. I am very grateful for having a job, but I am really frustrated right now. I was promised a full time job, permanently in October. But upper management in the office didn't get their "permission" to hire anybody new, so now, I am still a contractor. Promises, promises. My contract has been extended to January, and hopefully then, I will become a full time employee of the bank. Please continue to keep those fingers crossed for me. It would be much appreciated!
