My Boss Acts as if I don't exist.

I work for someone who is too young to be a boss. He's 28 and has only ever worked in this one particular environment. He's incredibly moody and will sometimes go weeks without speaking a word to any of us.

Two weeks ago, I was working on a software upgrade to one of our servers. The project included myself and one other person. My boss was fully aware of the issues we were facing, he had information that could have helped us and he held out on us until the last minute.

At this point, I find that I generally don't speak directly to him. I deal with him through email. I don't really care so much about having any kind of friendliness, I just want to have a good enough relationship with him to ensure that I can stay in this position for as long as I want to.

He does respond to my emails. It's just our face to face communication is weird. I guess my basic question here is, am I safe or should I start looking for another job.
