Question: Done and done

Mach5 — Mon, 12 May 2008 21:26:16 -0800

I do this menial task at work at least once, and usually several times a day, which involves running my scripts and then sending out a mass email. The body of my email currently consists of the word 'Done'. I'd like as many ways as possible to say 'the task is completed' and be generally silly.

Go all out, synonyms, colloquialisms, slang, foreign languages, everything. This task will be all done within a month or two, and I just want to amuse myself and weird out coworkers.

Owari. ("The end" in Japanese.)

How about a closing narration quote from The Twilight Zone? There are a bunch, but my two favorites for your purposes:

"There are more things in heaven and earth, and in the sky, than perhaps can be dreamt of. And somewhere in between heaven, the sky, the earth, lies the Twilight Zone." (1.18, The Last Flight)

"[A]sk yourself, do you live here, in this country, in this world, or do you live instead in the Twilight Zone?" (2.62, Shadow Play)

Maybe not totally appropriate for your workplace, but there're some apt bible verses:

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith
2 Timothy 4:7

...in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
Genesis 20:5

...and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Revelation 16:17

...I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:4

This is [firstname], last survivor of the [company/project name], signing off.

I finished the scripting. The last guy was really hard.

Roses are red / violets are blue / all my scripts / are belong to you.

Done. But then again, tomorrow is another day.

This goes out to Radio Raheem.

Now it's complete because it's ended here.

Stand by for a wave of emotion.

Per ardua ad astra.

Let me run this up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it.

Let me throw this out in the stoop and see if the cat licks it up.

Let's put it on the five-fifteen and see if it gets off at Westport.

Face. Bovvered.

"Brothers!"

"Victory is ours!"

"Thank you, sir. Thank you. I'm glad it's off my mind. Glad."

"Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Goodbye."

"And this is my room - and you're all here! And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again because I love you all!"

"I did it. I did it all. I feel as though I'd lived through all of this before in another life."

"I've just launched Gerald."

"Attaboy, Clarence."

"Maybe I didn't do such a wonderful thing after all."

"All right! Saddle up! Let's get back in the war!"

"You finally really did it. You maniacs!"

"Here's to Nick."

"Don't thank me, Warden. We're all part of the same team."

"The horror. The horror."

"Greetings, programs!"

"Do you think you'd be happy doing that?"
""Well, I don't know. What are the hours?"

"It is accomplished! It is accomplished!"

"Now, where was I?"

"Mischief managed."

'The Italian navigator has landed'

--the coded message that went out when Enrico Fermi's group at the University of Chicago successfully turned on the first nuclear reactor (and then was able to turn it off!). I didn't realize until this morning that part of the allusion was that it took place in 1942 as opposed to 1492.

As a young child I was convinced, despite ample evidence to the contrary, that books ended with"the and" If you look at the books I "wrote" (more like dictated) and illustrated as a 4 or 5 year old, assuming that my parents have them stored somewhere, you will see, on the last page, the following words painstakingly scrawled in large marker:
