You could use something like Growl for notifications:

--
tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
    notify with title "Script " description "started " & return & (current date) icon of application "Script Editor" with sticky
end tell
--
...
--
tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
    notify with title "Script " description "finished " & return & (current date) icon of application "Script Editor" with sticky
end tell
--

You can't (yet) get them to disappear under script control, but perhaps you've just popped out for a walk when the script suddenly finished, so that might be a good thing... :-)
