Great, wonderful

The day I have set up for an interview, coworker calls asking me to work a 8 hr shift for them. Great, wonderful, have to decline it since I'm in the middle of laundry and have an interview set up in a few hours. Interesting day.

Conversation with Personnel person was interesting last night. Her first question was not asking when I could come in for an interview, but was how much money was I expecting to be paid. Ok, I always thought money was not to be discussed (especially not brought up by job seeker) until a job offer was presented. Now the money question is the first question managers ask before asking about experience, qualifications, or availability to do the job. What is wrong with these people? Do they want the best or the cheapest for the job? And they can't figure out why they have trouble hiring people?
