Add position:relative to #center and then left:0px to #menu.
Absolutely positioned elements are positioned relative to their closest positioned parent. It's best to give the items you want to position a left/right and top/bottom coordinate to prevent weird results like the one you found.

You should specify both the top and left positions and add position:relative to the immediate parent:
#center {
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 500px;
background-color: green;
position:relative;
}
#menu {
width: 300px;
height: 45px;
background-color: pink;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1000;
top: 100px;
left: 0;
}
And a live example: http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/vRJMd/
The default left is auto and that more or less means that the browser can do whatever it thinks is sensible. Also, absolutely positioned elements are positioned with respect to the nearest ancestor with a position that is not static (which is probably <body> in your case).
