How do you say I finished my working day just now.
(When the clock strikes five, and you try to message your family you are ready to set off from the office)

Does the below sound fine?

Best Answer

Any one of the suggested phrases above sound good to me (British), including your original offerings. They don't come much simpler than that, except maybe:

I'm just leaving/I've just finished

Since your family undoubtedly know what you have just finished (or where you're leaving from).

I'd simply like to add a few more alternatives to the list.

  1. I've just clocked off.
  2. I've just punched out.
  3. I've just got out of work
  4. I've just knocked off.
  5. Just left. Get a beer out and the dinner on.
