I use acabar de when I say I have just done something such as: Acabo de comer = I just ate

Hey Matt! this has been discussed a few times. You can check this thread, for example, since it's fairly long and they give lots of interesting answers!

Thanks, when I used the dictionary I saw some answers for acabar at the bottom of the webpage. I didn't see this thread. Very helpful. How about "Acabo de terminar el trabajo" - MattM, May 5, 2010
That'd be: "I just finished the job" or "I just finished the assignment" as it may be. - Gekkosan, May 5, 2010
