Hm, for work. Means there is probably computer at work. No, I don't mean you have to connect the iPad to the computer.
Get a free DropBox account, and get the app on the iPad. Use the app to upload the pictures to DropBox.
Now go to the computer at work and sign into your DropBox account in a browser (no need to install anything), and download the pictures on the computer. If you are willing to spend a little money, get the GoodReader app. Then you will be able to connect to your DropBox account, select and upload several pictures at once.
There are several other cloud services, including Box.com that you can use the same way.
When people say they only need the iPad, it is usually because they've gotten around the need for physical media by using the cloud.
I hope this is a solution you can use.
