Your work IT people may not see it that way. They may see logmein as a way to get around all their security standards (I was at one place that did) and won't be happy with you trying to get around it.

I'm not saying that they are correct, all you are doing is controlling the mouse and keyboard on the home machine, but there may be a perceived security risk, even if there is not a real one.
