Do you have a locker at work, or another place to stash a briefcase? Then you can just transfer your laptop/papers from your backpack to the briefcase at work?

Mariposa, I don't know if you ever got your problem solved, but here is what I do; I have a grocery pannier that I put my backpack in. It is an easy way to use the briefcase you already have and like and a nice way to get some more pileage out of grocery panniers.
