MECHANIC ASSIGNED TO REMOVE AND REPLACE (R & R); CABIN AUDIO TAPES ON A B757-200; UNINTENTIONALLY STAMPED THE WORK CARD ITEM 'NO TAPES RECEIVED.'

Narrative

ON NOV/XA/08 I WAS ASSIGNED TO R&R AUDIO TAPES ON ACFT X. (STATION) WAS NOT SUPPLIED THE REQUIRED AUDIO TAPES. ON THE WORK CARD FORM THAT MECHS ARE REQUIRED TO DOCUMENT; I UNINTENTIONALLY STAMPED THE SECTION COMPLETE AND DOCUMENTED THE COMPLIANCE SECTION AS 'NO TAPES RECEIVED.' THIS WAS A LINE MAINT FUNCTION. I WAS INFORMED THAT ACFT RECORDS ANALYST HAD FOUND THE ERROR. THE ADMINISTRATION AND REORGANIZING OF AIRLINE PAPERWORK SYSTEM LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED -- EVEN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS; FOR MANY; LIKE TRYING TO WORK A CROSSWORD PUZZLE. I ADMIT I WAS CAUGHT IN THE MAZE AND FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN HAZED. I LET THE DOCUMENTATION GET AWAY FROM ME. AIRLINE DIDN'T HAVE THESE TYPE OF PROBS WITH THE SYSTEM WE HAD IN PLAY A FEW YRS AGO. I KNOW WE WILL NOT GO BACK TO THAT SYSTEM. MAYBE THE PRESENT SYSTEM WE ARE WORKING WITH COULD BE MODIFIED TO RESEMBLE THAT (WORKABLE) SYSTEM WE HAD. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROB I HAVE HAD HAS BEEN RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM; AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME. NOW THAT ACFT IS A BIGGER OP; THE ABOVE PROB IS BIGGER AND MORE COSTLY.
