Dammit, I forgot my notebook today. No game report yet!

I'm trying to juggle the unfortunately ludicrous community service requirement (150 hours is BULLSHIT, I feel very strongly on this point) with the fact that most places who look for volunteers aren't exactly eager to take people with records. How do you go down *that* route successfully? Nobody believes (and, let's face it, with reasonable cause) the claim of "I didn't do it, but I was convicted anyway". Well, I hope I can still find something. :(

Edit:

"Sorry, we can't take you. You have to go through this other organization instead."
"You mean the one that explicitly says on their website that serves an entirely different system?"
"Yes."

So I'm either fucked because I can't volunteer anywhere and can't get into the system that will let me, or I'm fucked because I have to go into some arbitrary system which will probably assign me to 12 hours of shoveling horse shit every Saturday, rather than giving me some OPTION into how I can serve.
