I originally did mine through a church where the pastor was a former IT guy. Spent a lot of time doing his website, cabling, etc. Then the probation office (or at least my officer) changed their policy and I had to do neighborhood cleanup with the parks department instead. It also seems like I got more hours, maybe 200. Anyways, I spent a lot of days mowing medians, parks, vacant lots, picking up leaves, burying dead stray dogs, etc., mostly with guys with DUI convictions. Gives you a lot of time to think.

I hope your PO doesn't make you go to his office every month. I only had to do that a couple of times. But he had a knack for showing up at my house right when I got in the shower. You just have to suck it up, be humble, and do your best to show them that you just want to get through it without extra hassles.
