Decision time

[captain_slinky]

Nurture the loving relationship between me and my ailing Father (first time in my life that we're actually *bonding*),

Or...

Take a menial (but fairly good paying) temp-job for the next two months so I can start digging myself out of the worlds deepest debt-pit?

Please give me your opinion!

The man drove *himself* to the emergency room twice rahter than wake anyone up to drive him there in the middle of the night. Of COURSE he's going to lie and tell me he doesn't need me around. I'd do the same thing!

But yeah... we'll probably take the job, then I'll have to just quit it on July 7th (the day of his next appointment at the VA Hospital)

True...but you could tell him you've been enjoying spending time with him and want to keep doing stuff with him even after you take the job - on weekends or somesuch.

Aaanyway, I bet that once you're at the job and doing well and they've invested some amount of training or whatever into you, you could go to them and say, "Hey, my dad needs to be driven to the VA hospital, it's extremely important and I'm the only one who can do it, and I need a day off without pay." They'd probably go for that...I doubt you'd have to quit just to make the appointment.
