If they at least installed some standards compliant browsers (i.e. at least one other thing other than IE) then things would be easier.
IE supports Google Docs, unless the computer you were using specifically looked down access to Google Docs. I'm a Chrome user but IE is still the most widely supported browser.
However you shouldn't be during work on a public computer in the first place if that's what you are trying to do. Even through your Google Docs is stored on the cloud, you are going to leave a local copy on the computer you are using once you open it, not to mention someone having installed a malware on the computer could steal your password. I'm pretty sure it's also a violation of policy at most companies of significant size to use public or even non-corporate devices to access work related documents.
