If the co2 pressure fell under during your shift, then you will be chewed out. 
 No doubt about it.  The pressure is your life blood of your bar.  Whether if 
it's just for your soda gun or the all important keg/draft.  Too much or too 
little will cost your boss money in the long run.  And when every penny 
counts, you may understand their (bosses) tempers more.
You are right on the other duties, check your garnishes & juices, make sure 
they are fresh.  Put out only what you think will be needed, too much leads to 
waste!  Too little (safer) can cause a delay in filling drink orders on a busy 
shift.  Fill what needs to be filled basically and clean the heck out of 
everything whenever possible.  If you have a minute or two , then you could be 
cleaning something (glassware, mixing tins, counter top, bottles in the 
speedrack, etc,etc) or at least preparing garnishes/juices for more people if 
needed.  I really haven't found too much dull time behind the bar, I seem to 
always be cleaning/checking/filling something.
I hope that helps!
