Narrative:

February 2010; mechanic informed me that a gate call from one of our A320 aircraft was in progress. Captain logbook discrepancy; 'green hydraulic system over serviced.' when in the cockpit; the ECAM screen on the hydraulic page indicated the arrow at the top; but not above the spart of the square. I do not know how long the aircraft was on the ground; but the ground baggage crew was in process of loading the baggage and utilizing the yellow system. I recall from my weekly and overnight check work that the airbus should sit on the ground with (hydraulic) pumps 'off' for 1 hour before an accurate reading can be achieved. As this was not the situation; I signed-off the log page discrepancy 'green arrow in range with hydraulic pumps on.' this was a technical and administrative error on my part. The weather was raining cats and dogs that day. We had a down aircraft and the aog (aircraft on ground) parts had been misrouted twice. Numerous other calls; escort; etc. There were only two mechanics on duty; me and another guy. I entered the above data on the logbook white copy; air traffic area; station corrected and date; but on the copy that stays in the logbook; I omitted the station; air traffic area code and corrective action.
