Nope. I tried to call several times he never answered. I will wait and see. At this time it looks like I will avoid the axe and it looks like they are funding my project so I should be good for the next 9 months to a year. Hopefully by then everything will be picking up. Plus I may get an opportunity to work on some EMC stuff, learn a bit of Windows and perhaps do some Clearcase admin work which will fill out my res.
