I think that's just you.

Depends, was it a timewaster or a good lead? There's never a bad time for a decent lead on a good contract. If it was a timewaster, bawl him out, if not, say yes until they actually have you an interview.

Nothing unusual about that really.

Sounds like he got you confused with a contractor (or was it a permie opportunity?)
