Narrative:
I was assigned to cover 2 gates during the busy time period and also helping other gates if needed on aircraft one service. Trying to finish that and had calls at gate X and also helping with other gates. Rushing back and forth and I'm not sure if I did everything correctly -- not safe. I could have forgotten something or not have tried all paperwork correctly, and the company would hold me responsible.
