Narrative:
Working a damage report; proceeded to check on the right hand overwing exit for some damage; assuming the pre-dock was complied with since all the seats were loose and several doors open. Me and my lead went to the overwing exit and I opened it; deploying the slide. Pre-dock card not complied with. It was close to break and inspectors were leaving and I wanted to comply with my job and before my shift turnover.
