I got screwed... help

There is a long story behind this, but I don't want to get into it right now. In short, I was kicked out and I needed 50 hours of community service to get back into the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I was doing the hours at a local breadline in Springfield, IL, but I got very screwed on Friday. I had about 25 hours done. All I did was ask the supervisor if it's possible to have someone work my hours for me if I pay them, and she terminated me. She said she would have to send a report to the school with my hours and the reason why. I never told her who to send it to and I might not have even told her the school. Even if she does know the school, it's huge and I'm hoping it'll get lost. There's no way they will see that favorably, so those 25 hours are just going to have to be lost. My deadline is Monday, Oct 24th. I need 50 hours of community service by then. I've tried calling various community service places around town, but none can give me enough hours. I called a couple people I know who run businesses too, but that doesn't count for community service, I think.

Someone, help?

I don't know. Maybe one of you help with a charity foundation somewhere nearby and I can say I volunteered there?

Why can't you just let her send the report to the school? You did 25 hours, I doubt the school would discount them just because of how you got fired. Good luck.

This is a douchebaggish thing to ask, and a douchebaggish thing to do, and you are a douchebag for considering it. You effed up; reap what you sow.

[/ QUOTE ]No, I didn't [censored] up. The supervisor is a motherfucker. I would've worked my hours. I would volunteer if I could, but I need this to get back into school and I am desperate.

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, I am such a pathetic douchebag for trying to do the actual work, but when a supervisor with a dick up his ass decides to [censored] me, I try to look for any alternative to go to school. Wow, I am such an [censored]. People like me should not be allowed to live. Go [censored] yourself.

Stop overreacting. You effed up and now you want someone to bail you out, "can some one say I did community service for them? even though I didn't". Take responsiblity for yourself. Yes the supervisor overreacted but you have to admit that it was a dumb question to ask him.

I admited it was a stupid question. I didn't deserve what I got for asking it and in no way does it make me a douchebag or pathetic. I would do the work if there was time.
